How much heat must be applied to the different gases in the atmosphere to increase its temperature by 1°C? Author; Rogelio Pérez C Abstract The greenhouse theory teaches that the increase in temperature on the planet is caused by heat-trapping gases called ghg such as CO2, so to lower the temperature of the atmosphere it is necessary to decrease these gases in the atmosphere, but these claims are contrary to the specific heat capacity of greenhouse gas such as CO2, This work shows that GHGS due to the ability to trap heat require a greater amount of heat, in order to increase their temperature by 1°C, i.e. the main greenhouse gases (CO2.Water Vapor, CH4) reduce the temperature by about 1/3 of the heat they absorb. So it can be concluded that, contrary to the theory of the greenhouse effect, it is necessary to increase the ghg in the atmosphere to reduce the temperature of the planet by almost 1/3. Experimentally we can see it in industry, with the technique ...
