Plain language summary
Today, successive IPCC global warming-related reports predict dramatic
atmosphere temperature and ocean rises in rather distant future. These
evolutions are assigned to anthropogenic greenhouse gas, notably carbon
dioxide, generated by fossil sources of energy exploited in the world.
However, everybody can observe that heat is also generated directly in
the low atmosphere by the exploitation and consumption of all sources of
energy and not only fossil ones. Production of electricity and its
exploitation by cars, trains, planes, electric appliances, wildfires,
etc.… heat the entire environment. The present work compares the
management of solar and heat released in the environment to the
mechanism that controls the temperature in the interior of a
refrigerator. It is concluded that water plays a role of refrigerant via
ice melting and evaporation-condensation phenomena and manages solar and
anthropogenic heats similarly. According to the present study and in
contrast to present predictions, the global temperature should not raise
as much as predicted by IPCC. In contrast, cloud formation, rains,
winds, storms, hurricanes, etc. should increase in frequency and
damages. Hydrogen is proposed as alternative to fossil sources of
energy. However its potential must be assessed positively relative to
both thermal and environmental impacts.
