Abstract

Carbon dioxide and methane are major compounds involved in global warming. The process of CO2 and CH4 molecules absorption by water clusters was investigated by the molecular dynamics method. The frequency spectra of dielectric permittivity for systems consisting of (H2O) n , (CO2) i (H2O)10 and (CH4) i (H2O)10 clusters mixed in various proportions were determined. The IR radiation absorption spectra of these systems were calculated and compared. Also, the radiating power of these systems was established. The capture of greenhouse gases’ molecules by ultra disperse water media reduces the ability of the media to absorb the Earth’s radiation, i.e., it reduces the greenhouse effect.
