MOTTO OF MAGAZINE: "New search for truths only this is the only science" Dm.I. Mendeleev

2 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Vinogradov Yury, Strebkov Dmitry S. 20 years to the point of no return climate announcement It became known that in appeared in the world scientific substantiation of the reasons of climate warming. A group of scientists working in Russia on a voluntary basis in the framework of the development of new energy technologies, applied their knowledge to research in the field of global climate. Studies have shown that all gases, the molar mass of which differs from the molar mass of nitrogen are beneficial for climate because they move heat from the stratosphere to space. The calculations given in the book show that humanity has lost the ability to control the climate because: - did not have the scientific substantiation of the reasons of climate warming; - crime against the climate was the suppression of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere; - 17 years of not fighting mankind with the true cause of warming (not fought mankind with heat pollution of the atmosphere). Nuclear power plants are the primary thermal pollutant of the atmosphere. Methane in second place if judged from the standpoint of damage to the climate. The heat from the burning of refined oil products (more than methane) is transmitted from the stratosphere into space with the help of products of combustion. The heat from the burned coal is moved from the stratosphere into space with the help of carbon dioxide, provided that the products of combustion is fully released into the atmosphere. The main result of the study is the assertion that for twenty years, you can still return the climate and weather to its original state. However, if the start of activities to eliminate the reasons for the selfheating of the planet to start only after 20 years, all possibilities of all countries of the world will not be enough to stop self-heating climate. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 191

3 Failed to transfer the research results, Russian President Vladimir Putin. The administration of the President of the Russian Federation limits the dissemination of information in violation of article 237 of the Criminal code. The research results were transferred to D. Тrump and the United States came out of the Paris agreements. In article scientifically reasonable suggestions for the elimination of the threat of explosion of the Caldera of the Yellowstone volcano. *** Read more about the climate, including English, the link: INTRODUCTION The title of the book is "Scientific substantiation of the causes of self-heating of the climate and ways to eliminate the causes of selfheating climate." The topics raised in the book are relevant, since humanity realized the need to combat climate change, but humanity operates within the incorrect, (recognized, but not scientific paradigms harm to the climate emission into the atmosphere of methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide). Can't humanity in such conditions to develop and implement scientifically sound measures to stabilize the climate, to return the climate to a state favorable for the development of the economies of all countries. The world community is concerned about the state and behavior of the Climate. The IPCC "Report No. 5, summary for policymakers". (IPCC, Climate Change Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers) configures politicians to "...adapt the economies to the inevitable and significant warming of climate" [V. 1.]. In IPCC report No. 5 provides evidence-based recommendations to address the causes of climate warming. The findings of the NASA, USA, is even more pessimistic [V. 2.]. The conclusions are made by extrapolation based on data from climate monitoring. In the report of NASA about the dynamics of climate reported that "...after 60 years, the climate will pass a point of no return in the way of a warming climate." Evidence-based recommendations to address the causes of warming are not given in the report of NASA. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 192

4 The international environmental organization, acting on the basis of common (but not scientific opinion) blamed for global warming on the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide in the atmosphere of our planet. Originally in the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, carbon dioxide was recognized as the main greenhouse gas, which emission into the atmosphere proposed to fight. A similar role of this gas was confirmed in the report No. 5 of the IPCC at the UN from 2014 [V. 1.]. However, the increase in the concentration of the listed gases in the atmosphere cannot be the cause of warming. You can verify this by considering the correlation of the graphs below. Fig. I. 1. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Fig. I. 2. Increase the temperature to degrees per year It should be noted that the graph in figure I.2 there are intervals of time when temperature decreases with time (from 1850 to 1865; from 1880 to 1910; from 1945 to 1980), whereas in the graph of figure I. 1, there are no time intervals with the previous reduction in the concentration of greenhouse gases. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 193

5 In addition, the chart Fig. I.2 it is possible to allocate two plots of the graph with the same angle of inclination, i.e. with the same speed of climate warming in the interval from 1910 to 1940 and from 1955 to 2000, while the chart of figure I.1. no areas of identical slope in the above time intervals. Fig. I.3. The damage from warming The only thing that can be observed correlation graph I.2, so it is with the schedule of Fig. I.3, "the damage to the economy from warming." Provided that no one, as in the case of greenhouse gases will not mix up cause and effect, and no one is going to prove that the damage is the cause but the increase in the average atmospheric temperature is the consequence. *** Unfortunately, the self-heating of the Earth climate coincided with a decrease in the number of sunspots. Sunspots have been more dark the rest of the surface of the Sun and the spots radiated less heat. When spots on the Sun is less than less, more bright and hot areas on the surface of the Sun. When the hot areas, which look towards the Earth more heat energy in addition to past periods of time (when spots were more), hits the Ground, causing it to Land additional warming. In 2004, the Russian Academy of Sciences in response to the request of the President of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin about the feasibility of ratification of the Kyoto Protocol announced that the Kyoto Protocol has no scientific basis. A fragment of the response to the request of Vladimir Putin is shown below. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 194

6 President Russian Federation Vladimir Putin About the position the Russian Academy of Sciences on the issue of the Kyoto Protocol pursuant to the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation dated Пр-432 and the government of the Russian Federation dated April 15, 2004 АЖ-П Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! In accordance with Your instructions, Russian Academy of Sciences conducted an analysis and implemented the calculations of effects of Russia's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and possibilities of prevention of climate change. This analysis was conducted in the framework of the interdisciplinary Council of RAS seminar "possibilities of prevention of climate change and its negative consequences. The problem of the Kyoto Protocol". In the work of the Council, the seminar was attended by 26 leading scientists of the RAS, during the work of the Council workshop held 8 meetings, heard 19 reports on various aspects of this problem. In accordance with the results of the discussion, stating the position of the Russian Academy of Sciences on this issue: 1. The Kyoto Protocol has no scientific basis Discussed and adopted at the meeting of the Council-seminar Signed the document the President of the RAS, Yuri Osipov. At the same time and the national Academy of Sciences of the United States not encouraged the U.S. Congress to ratify the Kyoto Protocol for the same reason "...because of the lack of scientific justification...damage to the climate from the emission into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide". In the United States the Kyoto Protocol is not ratified. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 195

7 However, to date, not taken into account even monitoring statistics the rate of warming (which says that as the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the rate of warming has increased) and the Paris climate agreement again confirmed the necessity of combating the emission of carbon dioxide, but also methane and nitrous oxide. In accordance with the scientific justification of (the authorship of Russia) proved that the age-old tradition of nature change warming on the glaciers and on the contrary, the planet Earth ended and due to the fact that not taken was a special scientifically based measures, the climate on Earth thirty years ago entered the stage of self-heating [V. 3.]. Now the climate is steadily moving towards the climate of Venus (the temperature of the gases in the atmosphere of Venus is 400 degrees Celsius and a pressure in the atmosphere 73 bar). But... In accordance with the scientific reasons for climate warming, all the gases in the Earth's atmosphere, the molar mass of which differs from the molar mass of nitrogen, work agents natural mechanism output of heat from the stratosphere to space. These gases help to withdraw heat from the stratosphere. In compliance with scientific justification, the cause of the warming (present it is not only warming, but the cause of self-heating climate) became anthropogenic thermal pollution of the environment by human activity. Scientific substantiation of the causes of the warming climate made it possible to calculate the flux density of heat by anthropogenic pollution. Specific anthropogenic pollution on Earth is about Watts on every square meter of the Earth's surface. Scientific substantiation of the causes of self-heating climate allowed to estimate the consequences of failure to combat humaninduced pollution over the past 30 years. The consequences are frightening.в Additional thermal pollution is a result of accumulation in the atmosphere anthropogenous warmth. Additional thermal pollution associated with the increasing moisture content of the air by increasing the average air temperature in the atmosphere and with the advent of the greenhouse effect from water vapor in the atmosphere. Today density of the additional contamination of the heat is slightly less than the values of heat of anthropogenic pollution. In additional thermal pollution of the atmosphere made up 0,0176 W/m2 and will grow from year to year. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 196

8 In the total density of the thermal contamination was W/m2. This additional heat flux causes a additional heating of the atmosphere, and additional heating of the atmosphere leads to accelerated increase in the moisture content of the air in the atmosphere, resulting in an additional additionally blocks of infrared radiation from the Earth's surface, previously radiated into space and the blocked heat causes a more rapid heating of the atmosphere. In addition, the increased moisture content of the air creates preconditions for the increase in deviations from the mean moisture content over different regions of the Earth's surface. Where moisture was more there there is increased heating of the Earth's surface due to the greenhouse effect and the moisture content of the air increases. Where there was a deficit of moisture content there is a cooling of the soil and the precipitation from the cold clouds fall down, which further cools the air. *** Should accept the fact that if the moisture in the air was not at all, there was no variation of the degree of the greenhouse effect along the surface of the Earth. But, with increasing of moisture content, will be required to increase the variation of moisture content over one region of the Earth in relation to other regions of the Earth. This variation and ensures the formation of conditions for the climatic records. It is known that the amount of moisture in the atmosphere increases with increasing average air temperature in the atmosphere, and the moisture can not stay in the atmosphere for a long time and turns into precipitation. Atmospheric moisture falling down from the cold upper atmosphere cools the lower atmosphere. In addition, when precipitation decreases the moisture content of the air and reduced the greenhouse effect that cools the surface of the Earth in this area. When cooling of the soil surface increases the density adjacent to the surface layers of air, the atmosphere like squats, and in the upper volume of the atmosphere of the space for flowing back of new portions of moist air. Cold air from the region where fall precipitation replaces the surface layer of air adjacent areas and pushes out warm and moist air upwards. In the upper «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 197

9 layers of the air moved into the region with low atmospheric pressure (the region where atmospheric precipitation falls down). This movement of air keeps the rainy weather for a long time and then the quantity of rainfall is such that for this time of year and this area falls in the list of climatic records. And Vice versa: In the heated air above a certain region of the Earth may accidentally change the moisture content of the air in the direction of increasing the moisture content from the usual values, and it will increase the greenhouse effect over the region. Plus the greenhouse effect initiates the process even more heating of the air, and this will lead to a further increase in its moisture content and to more greenhouse effect. Prolonged exposure of the process of increasing the concentration of moisture in the atmosphere over a certain region of the Earth will lead to the increase of air temperature over this region and temperature records - drought (relative to years when there was no such increased, as of today, elementary, middle atmosphere, the moisture content of the air in the atmosphere. «ЖРФХО», Том 89, Выпуск 2 (2017г.), стр. 198
