Of course fossil fuels are practically free from 14C — 14C drop repeatedly increase in the atmosphere (compared with the natural increase in CO2 emissions), but the direction of change — a decrease of 14C in the atmosphere — is the same in every (natural and anthropogenic) CO2 emissions growth.

Battisti and Naylor, however, assumed greenhouse gas emissions lower than the present output and the fact that more carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas, will boost plant growth may not help.

That said, whereas CO2 emissions from coal - fired power plants in the U.S. have declined, greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands have doubled since the turn of the century and look set to double again by the end of this decade — the primary source of emissions growth for the entire country of Canada.

At the current rate of growth, CO2 emissions from shipping will double by 2050.

Removing fossil subsidies would only slightly slow the growth of CO2 emissions, with the result that by 2030 they would only be 1 - 5 % lower than if subsidies had been maintained, regardless of whether oil prices are low or high.

And then you look at a place like China, which is just now — despite it's phenomenal growth in recent decades at 9 or 10 percent per year — is just now reaching about the per capita world average on all those factors, energy consumption, wealth and CO2 emissions, and they clearly want to do more.

«Slower growth in CH4 buys us some time to find ways to reduce CO2 emissions.»

Because CO2 can aid the growth of plants — and close down stomata as well to protect against O3 invasion — it was unclear how vegetation worldwide would respond to such an increase in emissions of both CO2 and O3.

Coupled with an emissions growth rate of 3.3 percent — triple the growth rate of the 1990s — the atmospheric burden is now rising by nearly two parts per million of CO2 a year, the fastest growth rate since 1850, the international team of researchers reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA.

But it's this population growth in rural areas that is seeing an increase in CO2 emissions.»

The focus of the debate on CO2 is not wholly predicated on its attribution to past forcing (since concern about CO2 emissions was raised long before human - caused climate change had been clearly detected, let alone attributed), but on its potential for causing large future growth in forcings.

On correspondence on growth in CO2 emissions since the financial crisis, as published in Nature Climate Change:

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are presently increasing every year at an accelerating rate, and it is extremely unlikely that humanity will collectively do what is necessary to not only stop that growth in CO2 emissions, but reverse it, and then reduce emissions by 80 percent or more within 5 to 10 years, which is what mainstream climate scientists say is needed to avoid the worst outcomes of anthropogenic global warming.
