Rather, the ice core record shows clearly that changes in temperature precede
changes in carbon dioxide throughout the glacial - interglacial cycle (Mudelsee, 2001), and that for the last half million years the climate system has oscillated in a self - limiting way between glacials and interglacials by about 6 deg.
In using the model to assess the ocean - carbon sink, the researchers assumed a «business as usual» carbon dioxide emissions trajectory, the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 scenario found in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for 2006 - 2010, where emissions continue to rise throughout the 21st centur

The publicâ $ ™ s waning interest
in global warming poses a challenge for Mr. Obama, who emphasized climate
change throughout his campaign and pledged to seek a cap on emissions
in the United States of heat - trapping gases, led by
carbon dioxide, which come mainly from burning coal and oil.
