Another sign of Graves' disease is hyperthyroidism, i.e., overproduction of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Normal thyroid levels are also seen, and occasionally also hypothyroidism, which may assist in causing goitre (though it is not the cause of the Graves' disease).
Without this greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature would be 255 degrees kelvin (-18 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Fahrenheit); a temperature so low that all water on Earth would freeze, the oceans would turn into ice and life, as we know it, would not exist.
1.0 Introduction to the greenhouse effect: Radiative Forcing. The temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere is determined by the balance between incoming energy and outgoing energy. Surface temperatures rise when when more energy is received than lost.
