Carbon dioxide generated by human activities, in burning fossil fuels, for producing the energy required to support human life, is warming our planet and is the main culprit of this effect.

This statements is the common belief of what is happening on Earth’s surface. This opinion has been established for over 20 years now and is driving the economy in many countries around the globe.

There is no scientific demonstration of this statement

A rigorous analysis, based on Thermodynamics, of the effects of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere can be found in the book titled:

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) in Earth’s Atmosphere. An Analysis based on Chemical Thermodynamics

The following paragraphs presents the main statements in this book.

The statement that green or renewable energy does not affect global warming ignores the 1st Principle of Thermodynamics, which affirm the conservation of energy.
All the energy used on the Earth’s surface is converted into heat (molecular motion), which is the final form of energy.
Mechanical, electrical, chemical or nuclear energy are finally converted into heat. The energy is conserved, not renewed.

It seems that many scientists involved in energy production ignore the 1st Principle of Thermodynamics formulated in the mid of the 19th century.

The heat capacity of CO₂ is greater than that of nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂), so the absorption of the same amount of energy produces a lower increase of temperature in the molecules of CO₂ than in those of air i.e. O₂ and N₂. Why climate scientists do not consider the heat capacity of gases forming Earth’s atmosphere?
So carbon dioxide (CO₂) at a lower temperature cannot heat air (N₂+O₂) at a higher temperature.
A heat flux from matter at lower temperature to the matter at a higher temperature is a violation of the 2nd Principle of Thermodynamics.
The number of CO₂ molecules in Earth’s atmosphere (450 ppm) cannot heat the molecules of O₂ and N₂ (999,550 ppm).

Climate scientists seem to ignore also the effects of masses involved in the heating of Earth's surface. The mass of CO₂ contained in the atmosphere is not comparable with the larger amounts contained in the Oceans, so are the Oceans that determine the CO₂ content in the atmosphere and not viceversa.
