One of the top 25 open questions as collected by Science magazine [1] and undoubtedly one of the most controversial today’s topics – global warming. It came to my mind especially now, when the central Europe faces historical frosts. Unfortunately, there is a lot of economics and politics in this field and it’s very difficult to find and follow reliable results and opinions. From the point of view of an external observer, the question of global warming is somehow mysterious and definitely full of open questions, such as: “How are the computational models of climate changes (such complex nonlinear dynamical processes) reliable?”, “Does the Earth really warms on a long-term basis and is it due to humans?”, or as the title states: “How Hot Will the Greenhouse World Be?”
