Summary:The effect of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) emission on the temperature of atmosphere was investigated. Accumulation of large amounts of CO sub(2) in the atmosphere led to the cooling and not to warming of climate, as the proponents of traditional anthropogenic global warming theory believed. The estimates showed that release of small amounts of CO sub(2), which was typical for the scope of anthropogenic emission, did not influence the global temperature of Earth's atmosphere. It was concluded that when the infrared radiation was absorbed by the molecules of greenhouse gases its energy was transformed into thermal expansion of air, which caused connective fluxes of air masses restoring the adiabatic distribution of temperature in the troposphere.
