Sentences with phrase «co2 as a driver»

CO2 is far and away the main driver of climate change, as your question implies, the problem being for the planet that once emitted it is very slow to go away, many hundreds or even thousands of years of heating effects.

That some pre-industrial year, or series of years, might have been warmer than today is relevant only so far as it reminds us that CO2 is not the only possible driver for temperature.

The climate system is hugely complex, with hundreds of variables, and your climate cult religion's attempt to make the patently absurd claim that human CO2 is the driver is as misguided as it gets.

However, as readers often point out, CO2 is not the only driver of climate.

Roger disputed that carbon (as CO2) caused any warming, that honest, unaltered science thought CO2 to be the consequence rather than the driver of temperature increases, that increasing CO2 in the air was sourced by natural phenomena rather than mostly man - made, and that to decrease CO2 to levels required by regulation would start to starve plants, making more folks on the planet to starve accordingly.

CO2 is a delayed response, not a driver as can been seen in ice cores stretching back hundreds of thousands of years into the past.

But it makes no sense to reject CO2 as a primary driver of climate change today because it looks, through the foggy glasses of time, like CO2 has not always completely controlled climate changes in the past.

Ar you afraid of those who put doubt about a non-proved and, according to all data we have, non-likely hypothesis about CO2 as a primarily driver of the earth's climate?

You seem to have forgotten that this is exactly the reason why so many people (me included) can't understand why CO2 alone should be the warming's driver, as far less CO2 was emitted at that time.

As I read this about the discrepancy between the fact of large CO2 emissions and the lack of CO2 spikes or large climate fluctuations, I am afraid the answer is not going to be good for the Al Gore school of climate: CO2 is not only distributed and «metabolized» by gaia in ways not yet explained very well, it is not a particularly powerful temperture driver.

His analysis of the different shapes between Arctic, tropics and Antarctic is thought provoking as the primary CO2 drivers.

Actually continental drift is important too, because the CO2 dropped as a result of the Himalayan growth and this was a big driver of the gradual cooling since 50 million years ago.

As can be seen, there is «(rising, dropping or hiatus)» but CO2 forcing is the driver of the trend.

You do * deny * that the increasing atmospheric fraction of CO2 is emerging as the dominant climate driver, do you not?

The Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network measures the atmospheric distribution and trends of the three main long - term drivers of climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as carbon monoxide (CO) which is an important indicator of air pollution.

As CO2 is not the only driver of climate, it is perfectly possible to have relatively high levels of CO2 while having relatively low global temperatures.
