School Globe Model for Infrastructural Global Warming
What about if the global warming is now not only in the atmosphere and on the surface, but 1.5 *C or more is the geophysical warming inside the Earth. This is the theoretical conception with some practical cases in our reality. Let the Earth be bigger than earlier, 4.5 bln years ago, in the Expanding Earth Theory [search in Internet] process with nuclear-thermic mechanism for its widening. This means with the radius of the planet longer now of about 70 % than in the beginning of expansion. I...

Forgotten Mountains. Why Kilimanjaro, Tibet, Himalaya, Greenland Are So Warm?
Counting from the altitude temperature gradient, the warming of Kilimanjaro's summit – where the snows have just disappeared and the glacier melted – we get warming over a century by about 5 *C. That is, it is four times higher than on average on the Earth's surface at the same time. Global warming on the Earth’s sea and land surface of about 1.5 *C for the period 1900 – 2023 is not adequate indicator to the all 3D warming process. The Earth is not flat. The adequate for global warming-vapour...

A Simple Algorithm Shows All Global Warming Temperatures
It turned out in the summer of 2023 that the forecasts of the UN IPCC scientific panel could already be consigned to the bad archive of history. A linear extrapolation of the trend from 2000 to 2023 would result in a value reaching 3 *C of warming of the Earth's surface at the end of the 21st century. The maximum level indicated was 4.5 *C. In 2023, we can talk about the development of an increase in this temperature to at least 10 *C plus, and maybe up to 17 *C plus (CH4 clathrates). It turn...
