      abstract = {This book looks at global atmospheric processes from a  physical standpoint using available current and past  observational data taken from measurements of relevant  atmospheric parameters. It describes various aspects of the  current atmospheric state and its future evolution,  focusing primarily on the energetic balance of the Earth  and atmosphere, and taking into consideration the  multi-faceted global equilibrium between these two systems,  carbon, and water. The analysis presented in this book  restricts itself to those objects and processes that allow  us to obtain reliable conclusions and numerical  estimations, in contrast to current climate models with  much larger numbers of parameters for describing the same  problems. As a result, in spite of the roughness of  numerical parameters, the book unveils a reliable and  transparent physical picture of energetic phenomena in the  global atmosphere. In particular, it shows that  approximately only one-fourth of atmospheric water returns  from the atmosphere to the Earth in the form of free  molecules. It was shown that the contemporary warming of  our planet has an anthropogenic character, and that the  average global temperature increases due to an increase of  the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules, via an  increase in atmospheric moisture, as well as an increase in  the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere. Accumulation of  atmospheric carbon dioxide plays a subsidiary role in this  process and gives approximately one-third in a change of  the global temperature, while an increase in the amount of  atmospheric water by as little as only 0.3% per year  explains the observed warming of the Earth. The book shows  how the greenhouse instability of the atmosphere evidently  has its origins in the Eocene epoch, presenting an analysis  of the influence of various types of global energetic  processes on the climate that differs from the official  stance on these problems.},
