Thermal pollution causes global warming
... The global mean temperature at ground surface is 33.1 K warmer than the effective Earth temperature, demonstrating the thermally insulating qualities of the atmosphere. This temperature difference drives the global net heat flow from the Earth. Because of the very small mean temperature gradient thr ...
