Air temperature and carbon dioxide (view source)
Revision as of 15:39, March 10, 2009
, 15:39, March 10, 2009Carbon dioxide is not driving air temperature, scientists have found.
Well, it's not so. In fact, in early 1999, there was a paper in ''Science'' in which they have now gotten adequate resolution so they can measure which came first, the temperature change or the carbon dioxide change. And guess what? The temperature change came first, followed by the carbon dioxide change about 600 years later. This means that something changed the temperature, not the carbon dioxide. But then as the climate warmed, more carbon dioxide apparently was released from the ocean into the atmosphere. [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/warming/debate/singer.html]}}
