Climatic consequences of the process of saturation of radiation absorption in gases

5. Conclusions
The presented material shows that despite the fact that the majority
of publications attempt to depict a catastrophic future for our planet due
to the anthropogenic increase in CO2 and its impact on Earth’s climate,
the shown facts raise serious doubts about this influence. Without
delving into the accuracy of the utilized models, we should closely
examine the possibilities of gathering reliable input data for these
models. These data are directly related to the distribution of temperature on Earth’s surface and in the atmosphere, the distribution of water
vapor concentration in the atmosphere, the distribution of wind speed
and direction, and the distribution of aerosols and particles in the atmosphere (clouds, aerosols above fluctuating oceans). It is obvious that
simultaneous measurements of these variables across the entire globe
are not feasible, and averaging them in situations where strong
nonlinear dependencies exist can lead to significant errors. Moreover,
the atmosphere exhibits high dynamics, which further complicates such
measurements. Therefore, it is not surprising that the results in various
significant works such as Schildknecht (2020) and Harde (2013), differ
greatly from those presented by the IPCC, which is widely regarded as
the sole reliable authority. This unequivocally suggests that the officially
presented impact of anthropogenic CO2 increase on Earth’s climate is
merely a hypothesis rather than a substantiated fact. Resolving these
dilemmas requires further experimental work to verify the results of
theoretical studies at every possible stage. To answer the question of
whether the additionally emitted CO2 in the atmosphere is indeed a
greenhouse gas, it would be necessary, among other things, to conduct
additional research for a radiation source with a temperature similar to
Earth’s surface temperature and measure the absorption of thermal radiation in a mixture of CO2 and air at different temperatures and pressures, as is the case in Earth’s atmosphere at various altitudes. It would
also be beneficial to conduct field studies using an appropriate balloon,
as suggested in (Kubicki et al., 2020b). By measuring the absorption of
Earth’s thermal radiation in atmospheric CO2 under atmospheric pressure in a cuvette placed in the basket of a balloon in the upper layers of
the troposphere, we could obtain results that would decisively settle
many controversial issues. For example, if it turned out, just like in the
case of thermal radiation from the Moon, that there is no noticeable
absorption of Earth’s thermal radiation in CO2, it would mean that the
spectrum of radiation emitted into space, as presented in the illustrative
Fig. 1, exhibits a "funnel" created as a result of absorption in gases and
water vapor in the atmosphere. It should be noted that CO2 absorption
lines at different altitudes are narrower than CO2 absorption lines under
atmospheric pressure, and thus, it could be authoritatively stated that
we are dealing with atmospheric saturation, and the additional CO2
emitted into the atmosphere, regardless of its altitude, will not be a
greenhouse gas.
However, the intention of the authors of this article is not to
encourage anyone to degrade the natural environment. Coal and petroleum are valuable chemical resources, and due to their finite reserves,
they should be utilized sparingly to ensure they last for future generations. Furthermore, intensive coal mining directly contributes to environmental degradation (land drainage, landscape alteration, tectonic
movements). It should also be considered that frequently used outdated
heating systems burning coal and outdated internal combustion engines
fueled by petroleum products emit many toxic substances (which have
nothing to do with CO2). Therefore, it seems that efforts towards
renewable energy sources should be intensified, but unsubstantiated
arguments, especially those that hinder economic development, should
not be used for this purpose.
In science, especially in the natural sciences, we should strive to
present a true picture of reality, primarily through empirical knowledge.
