Climate Change May be Driven by Solar Microwaves and Radio Waves –A Molecular Modeling (DFT/MM) Study

Abstract

Global warming and climate change are commonly believed to be caused by carbon dioxide released as a result of human activities. However, there is a "solar activity theory" that claims that climate change is caused by solar activity [1]. As the sun emits energy in the form of microwaves and radio waves, it is expected that oceanic seawater and continental silica may be warmed by solar microwaves and radio waves, and that radiant heat may warm water vapor in the atmosphere [2]. This study uses density functional theory based-molecular modeling approaches to investigate the possibility of molecular heating by solar microwave and radio waves using representative molecules.
