The longer - term warming of the climate is entirely driven by
atmospheric increases in CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted from human activity.
Scientists investigated whether the expert climate change prediction that growing CO2 emissions, and the
subsequent atmospheric increase of CO2, would cause an increase in the frequency and severity of large flooding.
Upper atmospheric increases in carbon dioxide «is the primary cooling agent of the thermosphere,» observes thermosphere climate scientist John Emmert of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C..
Yet the eminently more persuasive view — that
small atmospheric increases in this trace gas benefits plants, birds, beasts, and humanity — continues to be rejected by the powers that be.

We also know
the atmospheric increase is from burning fossil fuels because of the isotopic signature of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Sure, it is possible that not «
all atmospheric increases are anthropogenic.»
We also know

The results indicate that the surface ocean pCO2 trend is generally consistent with
the atmospheric increase but is more variable due to large - scale interannual variability of oceanic processes.
Given that this is a far from equilibrium system, it is far from clear that our modest human emissions and sinks (compared to the far greater natural emissions and sinks) are in fact causing
the atmospheric increase.
