Greenhouse Effect

This is very cold, as Kelvin is the absolute temperature scale. Zero K is -273 degrees Celsius (oC), so zero Celsius is 273 Kelvin. Consequently 254 K is -19oC. As global temperature is about 15oC , the calculation above concludes that global temperatures should be about 34oC lower than that actually measured.

The derivation of the formulae above is explained in the following video.
