Identification and understanding of global forces of nature driving the Earth’s climate is crucial for developing adequate relationship between people and nature, and for developing and implementing a sound course of action aimed at survival and welfare of the human race.
The latter is especially important in the light of presentday public debates on causes and ways of mitigation of the current global atmospheric warming.
After the Kyoto Protocol had been announced in 1997 (Kyoto Protocol
1997),
many researchers around the world criticized its provisions (that imposed drastic restrictions on anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission in developed countries) as meaningless and catastrophic.
Logical and quantitative comparison analyses presented in the publications of Robinson et al. (
1998), Soon et al.(2001),
Bluemle et al. (2001),
Baliunas (2002), Sorokhtin (2001),
Sorokhtin and Ushakov(2002),
Gerhard (2004), and Khilyuk and Chilingar (2003),(2004)showed that the theory of currently observed global atmospheric warming as a result of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (and the other greenhouse gasses) emission is a myth. This myth proved to be an enduring one.
The Earth’s climate is a generic term for a relatively stable long-term state of the Earth's atmosphere. The main parameters that describe the Earth’s climatequantitatively are the atmospheric temperature and pressure averaged over certain areas and chosen time intervals. They are determined by the energy and matter flows from inside and outside of the terrestrial body, matter transformation over the Earth’s surface (at the interface between lithosphere and atmosphere), and parameters of the Earth’s atmosphere and the World Ocean.
Solar radiation supplies the major energy influx to the Earth’s atmosphere that determines the Earth’s heating and cooling, and the outgassing supplies the major matter influx to the Earth’s atmosphere that determines its physical and chemical properties.
The matter transformation at the Earth surface and< in the World Ocean is caused by evolutionary physical changes, chemical reactions, and activities of live matter.
In addition to these factors, the terrestrial body....
