Abstract

A direct relationship between abnormally rapid global warming and the CO₂ produced by the exploitation and human uses of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, peat) is the basis of the recommendations made by the Intergovernmental Panel of Experts on Climate Change (the IPCC group) to fight against a worrying climatic drift in the next few decades. The IPCC mechanism of global warming is mostly based on radiative forcing and does not take into account ice melting and water evaporation as temperature controlling physical phenomena. Although, more and more scientists argue against the consensual IPCC’s vision, what is missing is opposition of another mechanism. The aim of the article is to propose an alternative mechanism derived from the analysis of facts and factors that contribute to warm the Earth. Starting from the fact that the Sun has been heating the planet for billions of years without dramatic drift other than fluctuations, it is shown that the environment is heated from natural sources (Sun, volcanoes) and by anthropogenic heat release. Anthropogenic heat is mostly composed of residual or waste heat coming from the production and the uses of energy necessary to satisfy human needs in work. To avoid the complexity of phenomena occurring in the atmosphere, the discussion was mostly based on examples taken from the current life to make the involved sciences clearer. Two major facts are emphasized. First, if there are natural and anthropogenic sources of heat energy on Earth, heat is a unique physical phenomenon. Second, heating by natural sources is sequential (day and night, summer and winter) whereas anthropogenic heating is almost permanent. This new vision leads to a new mechanism based on the physical and thermal properties of water and of solid-liquid-gas interphase equilibria involving exchanges of matter and heat. According to this mechanism, the temperature and ocean level rises should be smaller than predicted by the IPCC group but climatic events (winds, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, streams, etc.) that are involved in the averaging of opposite local climates (dry and wet, droughts and floods, cold and hot, etc.) should increase in strength and frequency. It is concluded that minimizing anthropogenic heat release should be more efficient than fighting the sole CO₂ to keep the drift of climatic events within acceptable limits.
