The greenhouse effect is non-linear, because it is amplified by two positive feedback mechanisms at least. The first mechanism is the rapid melting of the ice caps, which amplifies the greenhouse effect by curtailing the heat radiation from the Earth back to the outer space. The second positive feedback mechanism is the increased absorption of water vapor in the atmosphere as the temperature rises. The vapors act as a blanket which amplifies the heating process. (Sometimes, due to temperature fluctuations, some vapor re-condenses and fall as torrential rain.) Because of this non-linearity, the atmospheric stability is bound to break down quite soon: Sooner rather than later the temperature will escape to a hundred or two hundreds degrees Celsius. The oceans will vaporize, and a thick blanket of ultra-hot steam will embrace the entire planet. This steam blanket will perpetuate the greenhouse effect, and will render the Earth an eternal greenhouse, like our sister planet Venus. The rains will cease. No life will develop again on the planet whereon humans and animals once used to live.
