Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential transmissivity of shortwave insolation and longwave terrestrial radiation by various atmospheric gases is better known as the greenhouse effect. It refers to the ability of certain atmospheric gases (mainly water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) to trap the heat radiated from the Earth's surface, keeping the planet's temperature within a range that is habitable for life.  The other options, such as global warming and global dimming, are related to climate change but do not specifically refer to this differential transmissivity factor. Cloud-albedo forcing is a separate factor that affects the reflection of solar radiation by clouds and their albedo.
