Harald Yndestad: Lunar Forced Mauna Loa and Atlantic Variability
SCC Volume 2.3. The source of atmospheric CO2 variations is poorly understood. At Mauna Loa Hawaii, atmospheric CO2 has been recorded from 1959. This is a short period for a reliable variability signature identification. From the 19th century, atmospheric CO2 has been recorded in several short periods over the Atlantic Ocean and Europe. A number…
Hans Schrøder: Less than Half of the Increase in Atmospheric CO2 is Due to Fossil Fuels
SCC Volume 2.3. The question is: What fraction of the observed increase in atmospheric CO2 since 1750 is due to the burning of fossil fuels? Is it close to 1.0 as the IPCC and the climate policy makers would have us believe by saying that all, or nearly all, of the increase is due to…
Murry Salby and Hermann Harde: Theory of Increasing Greenhouse Gases
SCC Volume 2.3. Unlike elsewhere on the globe, temperature in the tropics has increased systematically. From observed tropical temperature, numerical simulations have reproduced the observed evolution of atmospheric CO2, including its annual cycle. Much the same has followed empirically from the observed covariance between tropical temperature and net emission of CO2 – the component of…
Ernst-Georg Beck, Reconstruction of Atmospheric CO2 Background Levels since 1826 from Direct Measurements near Ground (inclusive Supplements 3 & 5)
SCC Volume 2.2. A new data set of annually averaged CO2 background levels directly measured from 1826 to 1960 is presented. It is based on a selection process of about 100,000 single samplesfrom more than 200,000 available near ground on land and sea, mainly in the northern hemisphere. Analysing the data, methods, sampling stations, meteorological…
Francis Massen, Ernst-Georg Beck, Hans Jelbring, Antoine Kies, Observed Temporal and Spatial CO2 Variations Useful for the Evaluation of Regionally Observed CO2Data
SCC Volume 2.2. Observed ocean and land CO2 data show both seasonal and spatial variations, where latitude is the most important in addition to the increase in time. A simple, approximative corrective procedure is proposed which will be of use when comparing contemporary CO2 data from land and ocean influenced stations, and for the validation…
Hermann Harde, How Much CO2 and the Sun Contribute to Global Warming
SCC Volume 2.2. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change classifies the human influence on our climate as extremely likely to be the main reason of global warming over the last decades. Particularly anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide are made responsible for the observed temperature changes, while any natural forcings are almost completely excluded. However, detailed…
