re: Questions

Why does water boil easier in a lower pressure?
Why does evaporating water cause a cooling effect?
Why do the planets Mars and Jupiter have higher wind speeds in their atmospheres than the Earth?
Why does the high altitude "jet stream" move faster than the low altitude air?
Why does radioactive material heat its surroundings?
Is there more radioactive material in the atmosphere now than there was before our "nuclear age"?
If the kinetic energy of air molecules becomes extremely high, can such molecules escape the Earth's gravitational field?

Ones these questions are answered and the physics involved in the phenomenon understood, then the global temperature changes can also be understood in greater depth.
