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.

A new study, however, shows that forests devastated
by drought may lose their ability to store carbon over a much longer period than previously thought, reducing their role as a buffer
between humans» carbon
emissions and a changing climate.

human - caused Indonesian peat fires were estimated to have released
between 13 % and 40 % of the average carbon
emissions caused
by the burning of fossil fuels around the world in a single year.»
A similar temperature change may be expected
between the LIA and current, be it that the expected ~ 10 ppmv CO2 change is overwhelmed
by human emissions.
On a year - to - year basis there does not appear to be any direct correlation
between human CO2
emissions and CO2 concentration: the annual increase in CO2 varies
between 15 % and 90 % of the CO2 emitted
by humans.
Thus a grand solar minimum would have to cause about 1 °C cooling, plus it would have to offset the continued
human - caused global warming
between 1 and 5 °C
by 2100, depending on how our greenhouse gas
emissions change over the next century.
«My point (summarized well
by Steve) is that Hansen got it very wrong on the relationship
between the
human emissions and the climate;» He was modelling forcings and climate.
My point (summarized well
by Steve) is that Hansen got it very wrong on the relationship
between the
human emissions and the climate; this involves steps 1 and 2 above.
This is not a careful argument, because people — sceptical and not — have been questioning the leaps
between observing that the earths temperature changes, the attribution of that change to
humans, the conclusion that it will cause catastrophe, and that the only way to confront that catastrophe is
by mitigating climate change through reduction in
emissions.
The link
between adverse impacts such as more wildfires, ecosystem changes, extreme weather events etc. and their mitigation
by reducing greenhouse gas
emissions hinges on detecting unusual events for at least the past century and then actually attributing them to
human caused warming.
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.
About half of the summer ice loss
between 1979 and 2005 can be explained
by natural variability, the researchers found, while the other half is due to
human greenhouse
emissions.
Our devotee will also pass
by the curious additional facts that a period of similar warming occurred
between 1918 and 1940, well prior to the greatest phase of world industrialisation, and that cooling occurred
between 1940 and 1965, at precisely the time that
human emissions were increasing at their greatest rate.
The 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.
It is a simple way to monitor the overall consistency
between the evolving climate change signal, individual countries» pledges and the overall goal of achieving net zero CO2
emissions by the time we reach 2 °C of
human - related warming.
The assembled panel issued the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report entitled «The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policy Makers» that concludes that global average temperature will rise
between 1.1 °C to 6.4 °C
by 2100, and that it is «very likely» (90 % certainty) that
human activities and
emissions are causing global warming.
You both forget one thing: against natural sources stand natural sinks, We only have rough estimates of the height of the sources and sinks and of their year
by year variability, but we have quite exact figures of the difference
between natural sources and sinks and their variability: that is the difference
between the
human emissions and what is measured as increase in the atmosphere.
On a year - to - year basis there is absolutely no correlation
between human CO2
emissions and atmospheric CO2 levels: the amount of
human CO2 «staying» in the atmosphere swings
between 15 and 88 percent of that emitted
by humans, with a multi-year average of just under 50 %.
This strongly suggests that most of the increase has come from a positive imbalance
between natural sources (which out - ratio
human emissions by a factor of 24 at least) and natural sinks.
The HadCRUT record (preferred
by IPCC) shows three statistically indistinguishable multi-decadal warming «blips» (of about 30 years each and warming rates
between 0.14 and 0.16 C per decade), the first two of which occurred prior to any significant
