The Great Forgotten Aspect of The Terrestrial Greenhouse Effect is the Infrared Emission from Artificial Soils. An Energy Specialist's Perspective on Global Warming
Author(s): Romdhane Ben Slama*
Greenhouse gases (GHGs), primarily CO2 , are well known to everyone and are designated as the cause of the greenhouse effect, global warming, and climate change. This is what emerged from the various United Nations COPs following the IPCC's advice. Hence the need for decarbonization, the energy transition to renewable energies, and carbon neutrality by 2050, the date from which we will no longer manufacture combustion-engine cars in favor of electric mobility. The number one oversight relates to a component of the greenhouse effect itself, which is a natural phenomenon. The goal is to trap infrared radiation emitted by habitable land, which averages +15°C. However, the excess infrared radiation emitted by artificialized soils creates a significant imbalance, capable of creating a greenhouse effect that overheats the entire Earth (both hemispheres) in both summer and winter.
