| Abstract | ||
| The Green House Effect nowadays forms one of the major problems, and is one of the side effects of technology. This effect is related to the mechanism of exchange of energy of earth with its environment. The increase in consumption of petroleum products in the 2nd half of the 20th century; and is continuing in the current century; leads to the increase of CO2 concentration. The CO2 molecules have energy levels in the range of frequencies of the radiation from the earth this will prevent such frequencies from leaving earth, and as a result, effecting a temperature raise. A set of equations were postulated relating the increase in CO2 concentration with the increase of oil consumption. These equations enabled the calculation of the annual increase in the mass of CO2. This increase is of an accumulation character, and leads to increase of temperature. The rise of earth temperature up to 2008 was calculated and it was about 0.37 degrees Celsius in comparison with 1900. | ||
