Abstract
A simple heat transfer model is developed considering thermal wastes while applying thermodynamic engine phenomenon as well as principles of flow along paths of least resistance to explain the global anthropogenic warming (GAW) of atmospheric mass. This Neale’s GAW model indicates that the effect of water vapour in radiation forcing is considerable. It has not been looked at from the simple thermodynamic point of view because measurements of absolute global humidity are more elusive than measurements of non-condensable carbon dioxide, as well as cloud effects. The elegance of this heat transfer model is that it is very simple and far less complicated than meteorological modelling. This model notes that GAW can be minimised not by choosing one fuel over another but only by improving energy efficiencies of processes for power generation or material production. The importance of nanotechnology in improving process energy efficiency and facilitating clean coal use is worth noting.
