SCC Volume 1.2 A basic assumption of climate change made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is natural CO2 stayed constant after 1750 and human CO2 dominated the CO2 increase. IPCC’s basic assumption requires human CO2…
SCC Volume 1.2 Unlike much of the Earth, surface temperature in the tropics underwent a systematic and sustained increase during the satellite era. Due to the temperature dependence of surface processes which regulate CO2 emission, that long-term change should exert…
SCC Volume 1.2 An in-depth analysis is performed on the record of atmospheric 14CO2, an isotopic tracer of CO2 that was perturbed by nuclear testing. In addition to long-term behavior, we examine short-term changes that have been largely ignored. It…
SCC Volume 1.1 The Holocene time-period on the geological time scale is defined as the period following the last glaciation, about 14,000 to 15,000 years ago, until the present (“Holocene”, after the Greek words: “halos”, entire, and “ceno”, new). Although…
SCC Volume 1.1 By Margarita Grabert, Philipp Lengsfeld, Adedamola Adedokun, Andreas Glassl and Fritz Vahrenholt. Abstract Based on the premises that there is a high rate of agreement among the scientific community concerning the key factors driving climate change, there…
SCC Volume 1.1 Solar activity and climate change are characterized by specific oscillations. The most relevant ones are known in the literature as the cycles of Bray±Hallstatt (2100±2500 year), Eddy (800±1200 year), Suess±de Vries (200±250 year), Jose (155±185 year), Gleissberg…
SCC Volume 1.1 A simple formula is suggested to policy makers to evaluate the impact of Earth’s temperature of fossil fuel emissions or reductions. It is illustrated for main emitters, country by country. Two lists of estimates are compared. One…
SCC Volume 1.1 The evolution of nuclear-perturbed CO2 is used to determine the removal time of atmospheric CO2. The exponential decline of anomalous CO2 establishes that absorption of CO2 is determined, not by extraneous reservoirs of carbon, but autonomously by…
SCC Volume 1.1 In the classical scientific method, a proposed alternative hypothesis that an observable event is not attributable to chance is Popper-falsified by deductive testing of the corresponding null hypothesis that the occurrence is random. However, legalist post-modern scientism…
