In particular, the authors find fault with IPCC's conclusions relating to human activities being the primary cause of recent global warming, claiming, contrary to significant evidence that they tend to ignore, that the comparatively small influences of natural changes in solar radiation are dominating the influences of the much larger effects of changes in the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations on the global energy balance.

That property of water could be enough to enable the weather processes overall to stabilise the whole process and is one of the reasons why oceanic temperature is, always has been and always will be the primary atmospheric temperature driver and will always reduce or possibly neutralise any effect of an enhanced greenhouse effect in the absence of really huge changes caused by astronomic or geological processes.

It is impossible for the greenhouse effect to be its cause because there was no concurrent increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The fact in point (5) indicates that most of the change to the 12C: 13C isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2 and most of the recent increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration was caused by some unknown, natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) effect.

Therefore, it is possible that all of the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and all of the change to the 13C: 12C atmospheric isotope change were caused by the anthropogenic emission that induced the unknown, natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) effect that caused the observed change to the 12C: 13C isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2.

Instead, the researchers found that disturbances in atmospheric circulation, the large - scale movement of air, have the most effect on drought because they can affect factors that will cause it to rain more or less.

Simply, it is possible that none of the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and none of the change to the 13C: 12C atmospheric isotope change were caused by anthropogenic emission but were due to the unknown, natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) effect that caused most of the change to the 12C: 13C isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2.

Changes in atmospheric composition from human activities are the main cause of anthropogenic climate change by enhancing the greenhouse effect, although with important regional effects from aerosol particulates (IPCC 2007).

changes to atmospheric CO2 concentration FOLLOW changes to global temperature at all — yes, all — temperatures, and a cause can not follow its effect, 3.

Lacis expressly rejects the IPCC's use of the word a «substantial» factor, and argues: «Based on this basic input data, the relevant physics is inescapably clear that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is indeed enhancing the strength of the terrestrial greenhouse effect, and thus causing global warming to happen — all directly attributable to human industrial activity.»

Anti-greenhouse effect realizes on this way, and the decreasing of atmospheric transmission causes global cooling.

* * * The evidence to support the theory of anthropogenic, or human - caused, climate change has been mounting since the mid-1950s, when atmospheric models predicted that growing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere would add to the natural «greenhouse effect» and lead to warming.

Climate skeptic scientists have long questioned whether the effects of relatively minor (compared to other CO2 sources and sinks) human - caused emissions of CO2 have more than a minor effect on global temperatures and some have even questioned whether the UN and USEPA have even gotten the causation backwards (i.e., because on balance global temperatures affect atmospheric CO2 levels).

The consensus among climate scientists is that the earth's temperature is retrospectively caused by the atmospheric CO2 concentration 800 years later (the Gore Effect).

Man - made global warming theory predicts that increasing the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) will cause global warming (in the troposphere) and stratospheric cooling, by increasing the strength of the greenhouse effect.

Since atmospheric WV is expected to increase as a result of higher temperatures, the «WV - enhanced» greenhouse effect should cause some of the solar radiation that would otherwise reach the Earth's surface (in the absence of the enhanced GH effect) to be absorbed in the atmosphere, where that energy can perhaps be more easily lost to space (the complexity of the climate system permitting).

An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by widespread combustion of fossil fuels may intensify the greenhouse effect and cause long - term climatic changes.

Furthermore oscillating decadal trends in wind strength can further magnify biological effects causing pH to trend independently of atmospheric CO2.
