These deviations come in two forms: “scalar” perturbations, which are fluctuations in the energy density from place to place, and which eventually grow via gravitational instability into galaxies and clusters; and the “tensor” perturbations in the curvature of spacetime itself, which are just long-wavelength gravitational waves.    From Wordnik.com.  [Reconstructing Inflation] Reference

This extra absorption works counter to the greenhouse effect since the absorption occurs relatively high in the troposphere and thus warms those layers directly, allowing the energy to be emitted as long-wavelength IR to space without first having to be absorbed by the surface, thus warming it and letting the surface emit the long-wavelength IR.    From Wordnik.com.  [Water Vapor #3: Updated NIR Results « Climate Audit] Reference
