By Antero Ollila Original Research Article Published 24 May 2019 Physical Science International Journal 22(2): 1-19, 2019; Article no.PSIJ.49095 ISSN: 2348-0130 ABSTRACT The greenhouse effect concept has been developed to explain the Earth’s elevated temperature. The prevailing theory of climate change is the anthropogenic global warming theory, which assumes that the greenhouse (GH) effect is due to the longwave (LW) absorption of 155.6 Wm -2 by GH gases and clouds. The actual warming increase to 33°C of the Earth’s surface temperature according to the present GH effect definition is the infrared downward LW radiation of 345.6 Wm -2 emitted by …
