In the long term, the earth must shed energy into space at the same rate at which it absorbs energy from the sun. Solar energy arrives in the form of shortwavelength radiation. Some of this radiation is reflected away by the earth's surface and atmosphere. Most of it, however, passes straight through the atmosphere to warm the earth's surface. The earth gets rid of this energy (sends it back out into space) in the form of long wavelength, infra-red radiation. | ÓInVéỂSíAMPÌMổi ỨÚMMỐ ỚHANỔỄ k feWiZ S ổuií -0 W u M CữkMMío Amp iYổ T crCo ỸýcWoị Published by the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP and the Climate Change Secretariat UNFCCC .

Solar energy arrives in the form of shortwavelength radiation. Some of this radiation is reflected away by the earth s surface and atmosphere. Most of it however passes straight through the atmosphere to warm the earth s surface. The earth gets rid of this energy sends it back out into space in the form of long wavelength infra-red radiation. Most of the infra-red radiation emitted upwards by the earth s surface is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapour carbon dioxide and the other naturally occurring greenhouse gases . These gases prevent energy from passing directly from the surface out into space. Instead many interacting processes including radiation air currents evaporation cloud-formation and rainfall transport the energy high into the atmosphere. From there it can radiate into space. This slower more indirect process is fortunate for US because if the surface of the earth could radiate energy into space unhindered the earth would be a cold lifeless place - a bleak and barren planet rather like Mars. By increasing the atmosphere s ability to absorb infra-red energy our greenhouse gas emissions are disturbing
