Summary;

We know that 100% of the gases in the atmosphere emit infrared radiation in all directions at an average of 14°C, this gives us the temperature of the planet, but science has a process known as a greenhouse effect to explain why this happens, But this process covers only 0.04% of the atmosphere, and 99.96% of the atmosphere remains without any explanation of why they emit radiation at 14°C in all directions, just as greenhouse gases do, therefore, if we stop explaining 99.96% of the planet's heat source, it leads us to the conclusion that we do not know how heat originates on the planet. And so the current crisis, called global warming, is not being addressed effectively, in order to offer a solution to it. This work is written to make a reflection about; Why is only greenhouse gases (0.04% of the atmosphere) attributed the cause of the heat of 100% of the atmosphere? When there are 99.96% of gases in the atmosphere, which are not taken into account when explaining the reason for the heat on the planet. Since the percentage of gases in the atmosphere is so large contributing to the heat of the planet, which is not taken into account, it can be said that there is no explanation for heat and global warming.

 

Introduction: much is said about global warming, and to know how heat originates on the planet, climate science explains it by means of a process that GHGs retain the infrared emitted by the earth's surface, and re-emit it in all directions with a higher level of energy,  the average temperature at which these gases radiate energy is 14°C,, the volume of these gases is 0.04% of the total atmosphere, the problem is that the whole atmosphere radiates infrared at this same temperature (14°C), so we cannot attribute 100% the infrared of the atmosphere only to the greenhouse gases, Because 99.96% of the atmosphere, which is not taken into account in the explanation of the greenhouse effect, also radiates infrared at 14°C, but these gases do not absorb infrared, so they are not part of the greenhouse effect.

Scientific theory:

The greenhouse effect is a process in which thermal radiation emitted by the planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) and radiated in all directions. As part of this radiation is returned to the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, resulting in an increase in the average surface temperature compared to what would be in the absence of GHGs.1

One part of the solar radiation that reaches Earth passes through the atmosphere, is reflected back into space; another reaches the ground and warms it. It emits heat (infrared radiation) and warms the atmosphere, since the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases.2

Without this natural greenhouse effect, the equilibrium temperature of the Earth would be about -18 °C. However, the average temperature of the earth's surface is about 14 °C, a difference close to 32 °C that gives us an idea of the magnitude of efecto.3

Heat, is thermal energy transferred from a hotter system to a cooler system that are in contact.4

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system.

We can calculate the heat released or absorbed using the specific heat capacity C, end the mass of the substance m, and the change in temperature ΔT, end text in the equation:  q=m×C×ΔT.  5

Results;

According to the definition of temperature, we can understand this as the measurement of the average to which the atoms or molecules that form a body move, in the case of the atmosphere heat, it refers to the average speed or temperature emitted by all the molecules that form it, but the science of climate explains the temperature by means of a greenhouse effect, which represents only 0.04% of all the molecules in the atmosphere, this gases called greenhouse gases for retaining infrared from the earth's surface, and re emit it at a higher temperature in all directions, with that explanation the heat on the planet is understood, which means that if the planet increases its temperature above average, one of the causes should be the increase in greenhouse gases.

The atmosphere consists mainly of the following gases; Nitrogen 78%, Oxygen 21%, Argon 0.9, and CO2 0.04%. The heat in the atmosphere must be originated by the molecules of all the gases that make up it, which is a fact, all the gases of the atmosphere, Those known as greenhouse which are 0.04%, and those which are not considered greenhouse 99.96%, are at 14°C temperature, so all molecules of the atmosphere emits infrared in all directions at this temperature, now we all know the process of the temperature of the ghgs that are 0.04%, and the question that science does not answer is Where do 99.96% of the gases in the atmosphere get the temperature, which do not absorb the infrared emitted by the earth's surface, and which do not cause the greenhouse effect? By not knowing the origin of the temperature of 99.96% of the atmosphere, we can say with certainty that we do not know that it causes heat on the planet, so the causes of global warming are not what we believe, and the measures taken to solve them are inadequate.

Conclusion;

We can conclude that the explanation of the planet's temperature by means of a greenhouse effect only explains the process by which 0.04% of the atmospheric gases absorb infrared from the earth's surface and re-emit in all directions, but, this cannot be taken as the explanation of the total heat of the atmosphere, because the temperature of the planet must originate from a process that explains 100% of the temperature of all the molecules of the gases that make up the atmosphere, and when it remains to be explained why 99.96% of the gases in the atmosphere emit infrared in all directions and at the same temperature as greenhouse gases,  without these absorbing infrared, and are not part of the so-called greenhouse gases. We can say that it is not known what causes the temperature on the planet.
