between 13 % and 40 % of the average
carbon emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels around the world in a single year.»
Yes, there are relatively large cycles of CO2
between the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere... but the point is that this is just moving
carbon around and before
human emissions it was pretty much in equilibrium.
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 caused by
human emissions between 1982 and 2010 caused an average worldwide increase in vegetation foliage by 11 % after adjusting the data for precipitation effects.
The IPCC defines the difference
between natural and
human emissions of
carbon dioxide.

between the annual increases in
carbon dioxide and annual
human emissions is zero.
While the president and top administration officials continue denying the causal connection
between carbon emissions from
human activity and climate change, many corporations, including utilities like DTE, have accepted it as fact.

human implications of the trade - offs
between carbon dioxide
emissions and economic growth.
A number of recent studies have found a strong link
between peak
human - induced global warming and cumulative
carbon emissions from the start of the industrial revolution, while the link to
emissions over shorter periods or in the years 2020 or 2050 is generally weaker.
Also the Paris Agreement says by the second half of this century, there must be a balance
between the
emissions from
human activity such as energy production and farming, and the amount that can be captured by
carbon - absorbing «sinks» such as forests or
carbon storage technology.
In today's West Australian, which is the most widely newspaper in Western Australia, there is a piece by Paul Murray discussing the survey by the American Meteorological Society of the views of its members on the link
between carbon emissions from
human activity and global warming.

carbon entity data allows for the differentiation
between carbon emissions, produced and marketed by each of the 90 major multi-national and state - owned coal, oil and gas companies (and their predecessors), and the total
human attribution on climate change impacts.
«
Carbon models» may «indicate that the ocean will be a net sink for CO2» (as you write), but, inasmuch as the natural
carbon cycle is so much greater than the
human emissions, we are talking about a small difference
between large numbers.
There is a surprisingly linear relationship
between global warming and
human carbon dioxide
emissions since the pre-industrial age regardless of where and when these
emissions were produced.
Of the world's total
carbon dioxide
emissions only a small fraction comes from the activities of
human beings, but it is that small fraction that might threaten the equilibrium
between the much greater flows.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found to their surprise that despite the increased
human emissions of greenhouse gases,
between 2002 and 2014, plants were somehow able to absorb more
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere than in previous decades.
Remember that this is the same Professor who believes that ``... the Great Barrier Reef will benefit from rising seas, that there is no correlation
between carbon dioxide levels and temperature, that only 0.1 % of
carbon dioxide
emissions are due to
human activities, and that 96 % of the greenhouse effect is due to water vapour.»

In terms of greenhouse agents, the main conclusions from the WGI FAR Policymakers Summary are still valid today: (1) «
emissions resulting from
human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O»; (2) «some gases are potentially more effective (at greenhouse warming)»; (3) feedbacks
between the
carbon cycle, ecosystems and atmospheric greenhouse gases in a warmer world will affect CO2 abundances; and (4) GWPs provide a metric for comparing the climatic impact of different greenhouse gases, one that integrates both the radiative influence and biogeochemical cycles.
