A E Banner, January, 2021 IntroductionThe energy balance of the Earth and its importance in global warming considerations has been studied extensively for many years. Unfortunately, this has been based upon values of energy averaged over the whole surface of the Earth, and so cannot give accurate results for specific locations on the land surface. …

Introduction The Greenhouse Gas Theory is based upon the fundamental property of carbon dioxide and some other gases, water vapour in particular, to absorb radiative photons of certain energies, and subsequently to re-emit this energy equally in all directions. However, after 30 years with little progress in satisfactorily establishing the theory, it seemed to …
Introduction The Greenhouse Gas Theory is intended to explain the increase in the temperature of the surface of the Earth in the last few decades, due to the effects of the actions of human-kind. This is known as “anthropogenic global warming”. The theory depends upon the property of the so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere …
