The Influence of Heat Source IR Radiation on Black-Body Heating/Cooling with Increased CO2 Concentration

This study deal with interactions between thermal and radiative energy flow in experimental situations of varying complexity. Of special interest is how IR energy, re-emitted from CO2 gas, behaves an earth/atmosphere simulated setup. Such experiment was performed by Hermann Harde Michael Schnell where they show that radiation emitted can warm a small black-body metal plate. In control experiment, we verified this result. However, their the amount heating element strongly attenuated. modified emission source present, no but slight cooling black object found when air replaced CO2. The situation also more like situation. presence heated surface (like sun heats earth’s surface) attenuates ability increasing backscatter increased atmosphere. result has consequences for climate change models used IPCC.
