Resumen

En 2007, Anastassia Makarieva y Victor Gorshkov elaboraron la Teoría de la Bomba Biótica (Makarieva A. a., 2007). Los dos científicos, matemáticos/físicos del Instituto de Física Nuclear de San Petersburgo, Rusia, describieron la Teoría de la Bomba Biótica (BPT) en términos de las leyes fundamentales de la física relativas al cambio de fase cuando el agua se evapora y luego se condensa a través del proceso de formación de nubes, a medida que el aire húmedo se eleva en la troposfera y se enfría con la altitud. El grado de saturación del vapor de agua sigue la ecuación de Clausius-Clapeyron para los gases ideales, teniendo en cuenta la temperatura (Kelvin), la humedad relativa y la presión barométrica.

Peter Bunyard, Cambridge University

Peter Bunyard received his MA honours in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University in 1964 and in
the same year an MA from Harvard University for his research in insect physiology which culminated
in the publication of RNA Metabolism in Pupae of the Oak Silkworm, Antheraea pernyi: the effects of
diapause, development and injury. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Vol 52, No 6, pp
1572-l580, Dec 1964. He was a founding editor of The Ecologist), 1969 to 2005 and has a number of
books to his name, including The Politics of Self-Sufficiency, OUP, 1980, Gaia in Action: Science of the
Living World, Editor, Floris Books (Edinburgh), 1996, Breakdown of Climate: Human Choice or Global
Disaster? Floris Books, 1999, Extreme Weather: The Cataclysmic Effects of Climate Change, published
