SCC Volume 3.2. Ernst Georg Beck estimated a CO2 background time-series from 1826 to 1960. In a discussion from Ferdinand Engelbeen, he has a comment ha many of them are unsuited for background CO2-levels. The huge CO2 level around 1940…
SCC Volume 3.2. Several comments can be made on the reconstruction of the historical CO2 data made by the late Ernst Beck (Beck, 2010, published in SCC 2022 [21]). While most chemical methods used were fairly accurate (+/- 10 ppmv),…
SCC Volume 3.2. The first humans probably arrived at Sola in SW Norway just after the brutally cold Younger Dryas (YD) period, as the first neolithic tools found there are from around 11,500 years BP. This period is also called…
SCC Volume 3.2. Several oscillating atmospheric/oceanic systems (e.g., the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, QuasiBiennial Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and North Atlantic Oscillation) are largely responsible for the Earth’s weather and climate. Two fluid structures (the oceans and atmosphere) envelope the solid…
SCC Volume 3.1. Towards the end of the Weichsel ice age came a period with warmer climate referred to as the Late Glacial Interstadial (c.14,670 to 12,900 years BP), when the great inland ice started to retreat. This retreat was…
SCC Volume 3.1. This reply refutes all misstatements, that were published by F. Engelbeen as Comment on an article “Understanding Increasing Atmospheric CO2 “ by Hermann Harde. IntroductionAll climate experts agree that the basis for calculating changes of the CO2…
SCC Volume 3.1. The purpose of this paper is to derive an analytical impulse response function (IRF), for the carbon cycle between atmosphere and sea. The analysis is starting from the Box-Diffusion model (BDM) given by Oeschger et al. The…
SCC Volume 3.1. Climate alarmism and politics are based on the invalid United Nations (UN) assumption that human CO2 is the dominant cause of the CO2 increase above 280 ppm, or since 1750. This assumption conflicts with UN’s own data,…
SCC Volume 3.1. The carbon cycle is of fundamental importance to estimate the influence of anthropogenic emissions on the atmospheric CO2 concentration, and thus, to classify the impact of these emissions on global warming. Different models have been developed, which…
SCC Volume 3.1. Several articles have been published in this journal purporting to show that the well-documented rise in atmospheric CO2 is a natural phenomenon rather than human caused. His note reviews the overwhelming case that human activities are the…
SCC Volume 3.1. This paper addresses several issues concerning Milankovitch Theory and its relationship to paleoclimate data over the last 800,000 years. The approach taken treats the insolation as it is physically, a time-dependent wave. A parameter free model, based…
SCC Volume 2.3. Present day treatises dealing with weather and climate often use seemingly physical quantities, while they are in fact averages of such. Inserting these into formulas is physically not permitted. It leads to an assumption of the magnitude…
SCC Volume 2.3. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) classifies the human influence on ourclimate as extremely likely to be the main reason of global warming over the last decades. Particularly anthropogenic emissions of carbon compounds, with carbon dioxide…
SCC Volume 2.3. The observed present rate of uplift in Scandinavia increases from zero on the western coast of Norway to ~1 cm/yr in the Baltic Sea area. This domelike uplift is generally assumed to be the result of glacial…
SCC Volume 2.3. Transition from interglacial (Eem) to glaciation (Weichsel), to the current interglacial (warm) period, Holocene, including changing sea-levels: transgressions and regressions. Abstract Part 2 reviews some of the pertinent knowledge about ancient climate variations, from ~ 70 Ma…
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…
