In animal models, exposure to cigarette smoke or nicotine during fetal development alters the expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in areas of the brainstem important for autonomic function, 28 alters the neuronal excitability of neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (a brainstem region important for sensory integration), 29 and alters fetal autonomic activity and medullary neurotransmitter receptors.30 In human infants, there are strong associations
between nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and serotonin receptors in the brainstem during development.31 Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke attenuates recovery from hypoxia in preterm infants, 32 decreases heart rate variability in preterm33 and term34 infants, and abolishes the normal relationship
between heart rate and gestational age at birth.33 Moreover, infants of smoking mothers exhibit impaired arousal patterns to trigeminal stimulation in proportion to urinary cotinine levels.35 It is important to note also that prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke alters the normal programming of cardiovascular reflexes such that there is a greater - than - expected
increase in blood pressure and heart rate in response to breathing 4 %
carbon dioxide or a 60 ° head - up tilt.36 These changes in autonomic function, arousal, and cardiovascular reflexes might all
increase an infant's vulnerability to SIDS.

But there was a very important difference
between then and now: the rate of fluctuations in atmospheric
carbon dioxide levels in the past appeared in many cases to have been at a snail's pace compared to recent
increases - and today's levels continue to go up exponentially - faster and faster and faster.
In general, the catalyst
increases the rate of reaction
between carbon dioxide and a species in the growth medium (e.g., water or hydroxide), thereby enhancing the transfer of
carbon dioxide from gas 110 to growth medium 106.
My audience was quite sophisticated, and I soon realized that although they were interested in going deeper into understanding the relationship

increasing carbon dioxide levels, they were ready to apply their knowledge.
The Keeling Curve, a famous graph named after scientist Charles David Keeling, measures the
increase in
carbon dioxide concentration in the air since 1958; it is considered the bedrock of global warming science because it is generally believed that there is a direct correlation

carbon dioxide and global warming.
It is to be noted here that there is no necessary contradiction
between forecast expectations of (a) some renewed (or continuation of) slight cooling of world climate for a few decades to come, e.g., from volcanic or solar activity variations; (b) an abrupt warming due to the effect of
increasing carbon dioxide, lasting some centuries until fossil fuels are exhausted and a while thereafter; and this followed in turn by (c) a glaciation lasting (like the previous ones) for many thousands of years.»
Finally, to revisit the question originally posed @ 203: Assuming the IEO2011 Reference case of «1 trillion metric tons of additional cumulative energy - related
carbon dioxide emissions
between 2009 and 2035», and given that this case equates to following RCP8.5 until 2035 as previously demonstrated @ 408, what
increase in average global surface temperature relative to pre-industrial would result by 2035?
Rate of percentage annual growth for
carbon dioxide has certainly
increased since the beginning of the 21st century, but this should result in a significant change in the rate of warming any more quickly than the differences
between emission scenarios would, and there (according to the models) the differences aren't significant for the first thirty - some years but progressively become more pronounced from then on — given the cummulative effects of accumulated
carbon dioxide.

These facts help explain why, in spite of the Earth's air temperature
increasing to a level that the IPCC claims is unprecedented in the the past millennium or more, a recent study by Randall et al. (2013) found that the 14 % extra

carbon dioxide fertilization.

Unfortunately for the IPCC case, Munshi, whom I reference, has done a statistical analysis that proves the correlation
between the annual
increases in
carbon dioxide and annual human emissions is zero.
The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR - 5) describes a strong relationship
between carbon dioxide (CO2) and ice melt, with greater sea level rise based on
increased atmospheric CO2.
According to Wikipedia they explain the RE by saying: «If CO2 in the atmosphere is
increased by one part per million, the CO2 in the ocean is
increased by only a tenth of a part per million, because of the way that the
carbon dioxide in the water is partitioned
between carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions and free CO2.
This evidence includes multiple finger - print and attribution studies, strong correlations
between fossil fuel use and
increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations,
carbon isotope evidence that is supports that elevated
carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are from fossil sources, and model predictions that best fit actual observed greenhouse gas concentrations that support human activities as the source of atmospheric concentrations.
Recall that Wegman, in testimony (SSWR A. 2): «Again, it is the connection
