- Fossil-fuel hangover may block ice ages. Pearce, Fred // New Scientist;8/25/2007, Vol. 195 Issue 2618, p16
The article reports on research showing that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may linger for hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps causing enough residual global warming to stave off the next ice age. The study was led by Toby Tyrell of the British National Oceanography Centre, and it supports...
- Why Are Climate Alarmists Getting More Alarmed About CO2? // CO2 Science;7/14/2010, Vol. 13 Issue 28, p7
The article comments on papers published by two groups of climate alarmists, which claim that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underestimated the magnitude of future global warming. The author criticized one of the studies for the lack of information on the increases in...

The key scientific uncertainty in the global warming debate is the equilibrium climate sensitivity. Coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models predict a wide range of equilibrium climate sensitivities, with a consequently large spread of societal implications. Comparison of models with...

Speculates about global climatic and ecological changes using atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations as an indicator of change. Consideration of seasonal CO2 patterns; Changes in both hemispheres; Use of geophysical models of atmospheric mixing to calculate biotic seasonal flux;...
- Long-term sensitivity of soil carbon turnover to warming. Knorr, W.; Prentice, I. C.; House, J. I.; Holland, E. A. // Nature;1/20/2005, Vol. 433 Issue 7023, p298
The sensitivity of soil carbon to warming is a major uncertainty in projections of carbon dioxide concentration and climate. Experimental studies overwhelmingly indicate increased soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition at higher temperatures, resulting in increased carbon dioxide emissions from...
- Using the past to constrain the future: how the palaeorecord can improve estimates of global warming. Edwards, Tamsin L.; Crucifix, Michel; Harrison, Sandy P. // Progress in Physical Geography;Oct2007, Vol. 31 Issue 5, p481
Climate sensitivity is defined as the change in global mean equilibrium temperature after a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration and provides a simple measure of global warming. An early estimate of climate sensitivity, 1.5-4.5�C, has changed little subsequently, including the latest...
- 180 Years of Atmospheric CO2 Measurement By Chemical Methods. Beck, Ernst-Georg // 21st Century Science Associates;2008, Vol. 21 Issue 1, p41
The article reports on the study based on the historical data of the direct chemical measurements of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere which was taken from period between 1800 and 1961. The studies indicate that carbon dioxide level was low as compared to the report done by the...
- Assessing Impacts of Global Warming on Tropical Cyclone Tracks. Liguang Wu; Bin Wang // Journal of Climate;Apr2004, Vol. 17 Issue 8, p1686
A new approach is proposed to assess the possible impacts of the global climate change on tropical cyclone (TC) tracks in the western North Pacific (WNP) basin. The idea is based on the premise that the future change of TC track characteristics is primarily determined by changes in large-scale...
