In the light of geological field data and stable isotope work, it is concluded that the CO2 content in the atmosphere has remained fairly uniform since early Precambrian time; CO2 should thus have had little impact on paleoclimate. In contrast, the massive discharge of man-made CO2 into our ...

Back in the 1890s, however, the concept of warming the planet was remote and even welcomed. As Arrehenius wrote, “By the influence of the increasing percentage of carbonic acid [CO2] in the atmosphere, we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates, especially as regard...
The funding was jointly set up by the administration and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The greenhouse gas levels were measured at the China Global Atmosphere Watch Baseline Observatory on Mount Waliguan in Qinghai province. Located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, its data has prov...
T he problem is that CO2 lingers(残留)in the atmosphere for decades.In 2015, the world emitted 36 billion tons ofCO2 to produce energy. Someone may tell youthey know how to remove 100 million tons ofCO2 per year. T hat sounds like a lot, but ifyou do the math 100 million divided ...
There is no greater threat to us right now than the climate crisis. With seas becoming more acidic, polar icecaps melting, wildfires raging and corporations still pumping vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, we are at a crucial moment in human history. ...
If we “keep everything else the same” in a given location we can calculate the change in energy the planet emits to space for more CO2. Less energy is emitted to space with more CO2 in the atmosphere. The value varies in different locations, but we just calculate it in lots of ...
showing that this episode of rapid global warming, which drove the climate into a Hothouse state, was associated with a massive release of carbon into the atmosphere. Similarly, in the late Eocene, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were dropping, ice sheets began to form in Antarctica and ...
the amount of CO2in the atmosphere and found that not only was the amount gradually increasing, but it was doing so in a zigzag pattern that reflected the annual rhythm of Northern farms and forests coming alive in the summer, when they sponge it up, and then falling dormant in the ...
The Kyoto Protocol was an international agreement that aimed to reducecarbon dioxideemissions and the presence ofgreenhouse gases(GHG) in the atmosphere. The essential tenet of the Kyoto Protocol was that industrialized nations needed to reduce their CO2 emissions. The protocol was adopted in Kyoto,...
