  1. 5-5. Global warming • 5-5-1. Introduction • Definition: • Rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s surface (mainly air T). • From the Environmental Science point of view, the continuous increase in the air temperature due to the air pollutants, mostly so-called greenhouse gases • Greenhouse effect & gases: • Absorb and reemit infrared in the atmosphere and warm the lower atmosphere and surface  Cycling effect • Abundance (& contribution): H2O (36-72%) > CO2(9-26%) > CH4(4-9%) > N2O > O3(3-7%) (Kiehland Trenberth, 1997).

  5. 5-5-2. Dimming Effect • Cooling effect against greenhouse effect, due to the reflection and/or dimming of the sunlight to the surface because of the presence of cloud, snow & ice on the surface, dust, or smog in the air  also a cycling effect • May be called ‘albedo effect’, or collectively ‘anti-greenhouse effect’ • The balance between the greenhouse and dimming effect determine the temperature of the Earth’s surface Reason for “not boiling”
