In this book, new mathematical formulas showing the relationships between the CO2 content in the atmosphere, the CO2 related green house effect and the sea level are derived. The consequences of the found relationships are discussed, along with different solutions to replace fossil fuel with environmental neutral alternatives.

Отрывок из книги
CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Water vapour and methane are two other important contributors.
.....
The total amount of methane and water vapour in the atmosphere is determined not only by the amount of CO2, but also a number of other conditions and processes. Discussion of these conditions and processes is outside the scope of this book.
The CO2 content of the atmosphere is normally indicated in ppm (parts per million). This unit of measurement is also used in this book.
