CO2 molecules reduce the planet's temperature 1/3 Author; Rogelio Pérez C Summary The greenhouse theory teaches us that gases such as CO2, take thermal radiation from the earth's surface of 255 kelvin or -18° C and re-emit it to 288 kelvin or 15°C, an increase of 33°C, This effect of increasing the heat absorbed by CO2 is known as the greenhouse effect, so to lower the temperature of the planet, it is necessary to decrease these gases in the atmosphere, but these claims are contrary to the specific heat capacity of CO2 molecules, this work shows that CO2 needs to absorb heat of 3°C to produce 1°C. that is, CO2 reduces the heat absorbed by 1/3. So it can be concluded that, contrary to the theory of the greenhouse effect, it is necessary to increase the CO2 in the atmosphere to reduce the temperature of the planet by 1/3. We can see it in real life, in the industry the technique known as oxy-combustion, uses oxygen gas to increase the temperature in an oven, an...
