An exact calculation using the MODTRAN model, over all wavelengths and including methane and ozone greenhouse gasses, as shown in the plot above, gives, for tropical latitudes, an outgoing flux = 298.645 W/m 2 for current CO 2 levels and = 295.286 W/m 2 after CO 2 doubling, i.e. a radiative forcing of 1.1%, under clear sky conditions, as well ...
The idealized greenhouse model is based on the fact that certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, including carbon dioxide and water vapour, are transparent to the high-frequency solar radiation, but are much more opaque to the lower frequency infrared radiation leaving Earth's surface.
India was ranked seventh among the list of countries most affected by climate change in 2019. [1] India emits about 3 gigatonnes CO 2eq of greenhouse gases each year; about two and a half tons per person, which is less than the world average. [2] The country emits 7% of global emissions, despite having 17% of the world population. [3]
Global map of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [2] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission.

Technical note: SVG code for charts like this can be automatically generated by the "Variable-width bar charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG.
A "greenhouse Earth" is a period during which no continental glaciers exist anywhere on the planet. [6] Additionally, the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (such as water vapor and methane) are high, and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) range from 28 °C (82.4 °F) in the tropics to 0 °C (32 °F) in the polar regions.

Global models and national greenhouse gas inventories give similar results for deforestation emissions. [5] As of 2019, deforestation is responsible for about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions. [6] Carbon emissions from tropical deforestation are accelerating. [7] [8]
On 4 February 2010 India's environment minister Jairam Ramesh announced that it would bring together 250 scientists from 125 Indian research institutions and collaborate with international organisations.its first assessment of greenhouse gas emission was released on May 11, 2010 and Its second climate assessment to be published in November 2010 ...
