These measurements, supplemented by analyses of air bubbles trapped in ice core samples, show unequivocally that atmospheric

present day concentrations that are approaching 390 ppm.
Similarly, the logarithmic nature of the radiative forcing does have a theoretical basis, but strictly speaking, is only a good approximation that is valid for a relatively narrow range of
CO2 concentrations (although the range is broad enough to encompass what you'd expect to see for our
present day climate change).

Present -

Model simulations for the North Atlantic Ocean and thermodynamic principles reveal that this feedback should be stronger, at
present, in colder midlatitude and subpolar waters because of the lower
present -
day buffer capacity and elevated DIC levels driven either by northward advected surface water and / or excess local air - sea
CO2 uptake.
For example, if the
CO2 - ice threshold for
present -
day Earth is 500 ppm, the equivalent threshold during the Late Ordovician (450 million years ago) would be 3000 ppm.
Motivated by the need for a clear reference for this issue, we review the existing literature and use the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE radiation module to provide an overview of the role of each absorber at the

The radiative forcing due to

Even the data used in Royer 2006 shows (in figures B, C and D on page 5667 ref: http://openearthsystems.org/data/readings/Introductory%20Reading/Royer2006-
CO2climatePhanerozoic.pdf) that the
CO2 levels never reached beyond 8000 ppm which is 20x
present day levels.
For example, if the
CO2 - ice threshold for
present -
day Earth is 500 ppm, the equivalent threshold during the Late Ordovician (450 million years ago)-- when the solar constant was about 4 % less than current levels — would be 3000 ppm.
This study focuses only on biogeophysical effects of forest disturbance, so atmospheric
CO2 concentrations are held fixed to
present day conditions of 367 ppm.
Thus, the increase in the surface temperature at sea level caused by doubling of the
present -
day CO2 concentration in the atmosphere will be less than 0.01 °C, which is negligible in comparison with natural temporal fluctuations of global temperature.
In addition, peer - reviewed studies have documented that there have been temperatures similar to the
present day on Earth when carbon dioxide was up to twenty times higher than today's levels» — And, a peer - reviewed study this year found that the
present day carbon dioxide level of 400 ppm was exceeded — without any human influence — 12,750 years ago when
CO2 may have reached up to 425 ppm.]
Until an equilibrium temperature is reached,
present day observations will not tell us the exact value of the climate's sensitivity to
CO2....»
They do correctly note (rounding generously though) that about a quarter of
present day airborne
CO2 is anthropogenic (about 100 ppm out of 380 ppm) and that about half of human emissions end up in sinks (the oceans, soil carbon from increased plant growth etc..).
I think that when people need to resort to conditions 500 million years ago to «refute»
present -

CO2 and other IR - active atmospheric species — backed by solid, lab - tested physical theory — that I'm not the one with a problem airly dismissing a priori «assumptions».
Observations highlight that most climate models overestimate the
present -

We can broadly measure or estimate

CO2 that way.
Motivated by the need for a clear reference for this issue, we review the existing literature and use the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE radiation module to provide an overview of the role of each absorber at the

CO2 levels were 600-1200 ppm.
It seemed that the
present day was likely not much or very little outside the range of climate variability for the last 2000 years and that no government action or policy was required or would be useful with regard to postulated anthropogenic
CO2 driven climate change.
To get an idea of the scale, we note that a [100 % increase / 7.5 = 13 % increase] of methane from
present -
day concentration would be equivalent to 60 ppm increase in
CO2 from

present methane would be equivalent to about a doubling of
CO2.
To get an idea of the scale, we note that a doubling of methane 10 from

CO2 are well established as being from burning fossil fuels and other human activities; a shift from 280 to 389ppm in 150 or so years.
Although historical records indicate that atmospheric
CO2 concentrations and sea surface temperatures have undergone significant oscillations and have exceeded
present -
day levels in the past [3,4], it is the unprecedented rates of change that are fuelling concerns over whether organisms will retain the capacity to mediate vital ecosystem functions and services [5,6].
It is the understanding of the power of the carbon cycle and the primary role played by geological processes that promotes doubt in some geologists minds that
present -
day climate change is caused by human - sourced
CO2 in the atmosphere; they simply don't believe that we humans have that much influence.
