Junk Joules’ smile broadens as I search for illustrations
of greenhouse effect. I see why. Every page is spliced with illustrations of
greenhouses. I understand more why I felt affronted by the mechanistic image of
this vibrant pulsating planet stuck in a crude human construction. Still no images portraying the pivotal role
of trace gases in enabling Life. Even my own web illustrations fail me.

A 5 page search (i.e. 100 illustrations i.e.
more than the layperson or the average harassed teacher would search)
reveals:
-Every page has at least one illustration of a greenhouse spliced into the
conglomerate image. The first three pages each have three spliced into them.
-Page one invoked the greenhouse image 32 times and this seems to be the
pattern.
The image of the Happy/Sad Earth is a strong contender but Junk Joules' pick of the page is Earth in a Bottle.
The Bonus Joules award goes to The
Three Factors. It is simple, informative and creates the least learning
blocks to the understanding of air. This said the site failsl to reveal any useful
symbols of
the Warmer Trace Gases, its arrow symbols of energy movements arrows are crude
and it does evoke the greenhouse image.
