This year marks not only the release of a clarion IPCC report and the convening of an enormous UN climate conference, but also the 50th anniversary
of the Keeling curve — the longest continuous recording of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, revealing a gradually rising carbon dioxide profile that helped trigger early concern about global warming.
(*) Which reminds
me of Keeling.
The rate of growth in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere has accelerated since the beginnings
of the Keeling Curve.
Sat on my shelf for a couple of years; I am through the first third now... (i) The story
of Keeling breaking away from the Christmas party with a grad student to pack the crate for the analyzer bound to the South Pole was amusing, and (ii), weaving the processes of the biosphere to thte tangibles of metric proces works to trigger thought.
It contradicts the analysis
of the Keeling curve and results from carbon 14 from atmospheric tests in the fifties.
Gore's slide show appropriately displays many graphs
of the Keeling Curve, as it is probably the most important and most famous finding in climate change science.
We need the Keeling curve to be accurately measured, and scientists have spent a lot of work verifying and improving on the original methodology
of Keeling.
Kim, there is what I find to be a very interesting discussion
of the Keeling curves on the Scripps site.
This one - year blip is not a new phenomenon, contrary to what some hysterical alarmists have been saying (witness the short intervals starting in 2002), and will have no perceptible impact on the CAGR
of the Keeling curve.
Scientists believe that the most recent period with a 400 ppm level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was the Pliocene, between five million and three million years ago, according to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which keeps track
of the Keeling Curve.
After word
of Keeling's research spread, he was invited to expand his network of CO2 monitoring stations to places like the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, and Antarctica.
Maybe you could answer as to why you chose to fit just two points of the monthly data
of the Keeling curve you adopt to represent recent CO2 rise and allowed it to deviate systematically for the rest of that period.
* The curvature
of the Keeling curve is much greater than any exponential that touches it in two points.
For example his» I never said Hoffman's model sucks» that he wrote just now would seem to contradict his preference for his exponential law (at least for the period
of the Keeling curve) over Hofmann's raised exponential law.
* Another difference is that the vertical axis (CO2) is plotted on a linear rather than log scale so as to make the curvature
of the Keeling curve easier to see.
Constraining the fit to have a reasonable base CO2 level will cause it to under - estimate almost
all of the Keeling period then ramp up at a totally impossible rate once it crosses Keeling at the second forced fit point.
