The carbon-dioxide syndrome (2.)
(Summary)
The production of plants giving
renewable energy – apart from
that of the C4-type sugar cane –
is uneconomical and their use
causes more pollution (and so
CO2 emission) than burning of
fossil oil or gas. Global warming
– according to the recent “official”
opinion – is caused by artificial
carbon dioxide as the heat energy
of the long-wave radiation starting
from the surface of our planet is
absorbed by the “surplus” CO2
and retained in the atmosphere,
would generate a greenhouse
effect and lead to catastrophes. 
Many people predict the melting
of ice on Earth, the rise of sea-levels
by several meters, cessation
of the Gulf Stream a new ice-age
in Europe and droughts leading to
famine. Vapour of water is a more
effective “radiation-trap” than
CO2, moreover 55-times more
water is evaporated into the air
daily than artificial CO2 released
yearly. Melting of the floating ice
of the North Pole does not result
in rising sea levels, the thickness
of ice on the Antarctic is growing
on the other hand and it would
take 2000 years for the ice on
Greenland to melt. (Wadham) |
