Philosophy of the Future: Heat-Generating Factor in the Process of Global Warming, Ways of Disposal of Heat Emissions

Abstract

The function performed by greenhouse gases is, first of all, energy-saving and energy-regulating. It is known that the temperature in the upper layers of the atmosphere reaches hundreds of degrees Celsius. Having the effect of two-way action, they protect the planet from both external influences and internal factors. However, these functions are not heat-generating and direct-acting factors. Emissions create a protective umbrella of a gas-soot-dust mixture above the earth, which reliably protects the planet, primarily from incoming solar energy. Therefore, this proses is not associated with the creation of additional thermal energy, which has arisen in recent decades. It is well known that a heat source is required to heat a house for example. No gas can heat it. The increase in the concentration of both greenhouse gases and thermal emissions is a consequence of exothermic reactions of burning energy carriers. Thus, the main factor in the process of global warming is the emissions of thermal energy through the activities of the industrial and economic complex and the vital activity of the anthropogenic factor. Their number has reached astronomical proportions, and against the background of the intensification of energy production, global warming on Earth has already become a threat. Most people associate thermal energy as a benefit, but it is known that its excess is deadly for all life forms. It is necessary to strictly limit the use of thermonuclear technologies, especially in the military sector, at least until effective technologies for the utilization of thermal pollution are developed. The main priority for the coming decades should be the development of energy regeneration technologies based on artificial photosynthesis with the absorption of the excess heat generated, as well as the creation of industrial technologies for energy circulation by regenerating energy carriers in the process of endothermic recovery reactions.
