Currents’ Physical Components and Renewable Energy Sources. Observations and Questions

Leszek S. CZARNECKI

Abstract

The development of power theory and numerous observations and questions related to renewable energy sources and the reasons behind climate warming are described in the article. It shows the contrast between results that can be obtained by empirical methods and results where these methods cannot be applied due to human opinions and decisions. It is demonstrated that, despite general opinion, where climate warming is traced to carbon dioxide emission, some climatologists think, on the basis of their own research, that these changes are caused by variations in Sun activity, while the increase in carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere results from the increase of Earth’s temperature, and it is not the reason behind this increase.
