Abstract
Experimental-statistical equations are proposed for calculating the results of fossil fuel combustion. The calculation is illustrated by the example of fuel combustion by engines of a Boeing series aircraft. The main supplier of energy to the ecological system of Planet Earth is the Sun. The atmosphere of Planet Earth retains about 50% of the thermal (infrared) radiation of the Sun. This casts doubt on the role of CO2, whose concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is about 0.05%, in Global Climate Warming. Knowing how much fuel humanity produces per year, it is possible to calculate the amount of thermal energy produced per year. If in 2000 humanity produced 412*106 TJ of thermal energy, then the Sun supplied 38286*106 TJ of thermal energy to the Earth in 365 hours a year. It is expedient to reduce Global Warming by 1.5 - 2.0 degrees by installing a "Solar Umbrella" in the stratosphere - a filter for infrared (thermal) radiation from the Sun.
