Carbon dioxide re-emitting infrared light C017 / 0787
Carbon dioxide (CO2) re-emitting infrared light, computer artwork. Sunlight comes from top left and strikes the ground, which then emits infrared light. The infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecule (top right) and then re-emitted in random directions. This scatters the energy that would otherwise travel out into space and adds to the heating of the atmosphere. This is the basis of the greenhouse effect. roughly half of the emitted photons will travel back towards the surface, thereby slowing the loss of energy into space

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Carbon dioxide re-emitting infrared light" showcases the intricate process behind the greenhouse effect. In this computer artwork, sunlight gracefully pours in from the top left, illuminating the Earth's surface. As it strikes the ground, infrared light is emitted and absorbed by a carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule depicted at the top right. The CO2 molecule then undergoes a fascinating transformation as it re-emits this absorbed energy in random directions. This scattering phenomenon prevents a significant amount of energy from escaping into space and instead contributes to heating up our atmosphere. It forms the fundamental basis of what we know as the greenhouse effect. Remarkably, approximately half of these re-emitted photons travel back towards the Earth's surface, effectively slowing down energy loss into space. This intricate dance between solar radiation and CO2 absorption plays a crucial role in shaping our climate. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Russell Kightley invites us to contemplate how human activities that increase atmospheric CO2 levels can intensify this natural process. The illustration serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to address global warming and climate change caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions.
