Description

This research aims at designing a teaching approach to understand CO2 influence on temperature, as accessible as possible. We first analyse the most common approaches, which led us to question the relevance of some experiments on radiative properties of solids, then extrapolated to gases. We show that this generalisation is not obvious at all for students, and thus deserves empirical evidence. A new experiment with CO2 balloons viewed with an infrared camera is presented. The results, applied to the Earth system, enable to understand the temperature increase, without using the absorption spectrum of CO2, inaccessible to most non-physicist people.
