Abstract
The letter by Amthor et al. (in this issue) on our paper (Aronson and McNulty, 2009) raised some interesting questions and noted an error in our original text. In Aronson and McNulty (2009), we misstated that anthropogenic-induced global warming would result from increased infrared radiation (IR), when the sentence should have read increased convection and conduction. The authors do not believe that increased greenhouse gas emissions will increase solar radiation output, or significantly increase IR to the Earth’s surface. We thank Amthor et al. for that correction.
