Hey folks,
I am a n00b here with the following question:
Does the heat production by our industries, our bodies and the bodies of all animals in our bio-industry contribute to global warming? Or is it neglectable?
I have been wondering about that for quite some time. Everything that is in motion (from molecular to higher levels) produces warmth. Our bodies, our factories, our cars, our pc's, tv's, airconditioning systems, etcetera, all create warmth. And since the 2nd industrialisation, there have never been so many sources of heat. Is this a factor in the global warming issue to be reckoned with?
Hope to hear some experts on this!
Greetings,
Flores |

| Eh not really an "expert" in this but I do think your idea of what global warming is is rather off. Global warming is when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are present at unnatural levels in a planets atmoshpere. These gases dont allow heat energy which is sent intot he planet by the suns rays out. They continue to bounce of this layer and the earth continuing to heat the earth longer than they would have naturally. The heat created on earth does not contribute to global warming as it does not put these greenhous gases in the atmosphere which keep in the suns rays. The type of heat the sun irradiates is carried as electromagnetic waves and so when the wave is bounced back so is the heat. The heat produced on earth to the most part is held as energy in molecules or atoms and so if it was to convey and conduct its way up to the layer would just pas right through it. So basically no heat production on earth as product or by-products of any process, industrial or otherwise is not in any way a factor in global warming. |
