As the numbers decrease (gets closer to now) the sheet shrinks.

It may not be the largest factor in climate change but it one of those that we have direct control over. And frankly its a lot simpler than trying to reduce methane by controlling the diets of animals across the entire planet, changing aspects of the weather or geoengineering a remedial solution after the fact.

Climate change is affected by so many contributing factors accurately predicting the scale of the change is difficult but the science indicates that the rise in Co2 is trapping more energy in the atmosphere and is contributing to increasing temperature and climate instability which is generally considered something we should probably avoid by most scientists in the field.

Hope that helps

Really enjoyed reading your report.
Keep up the good work & all the best with the PHd.

Thank you for the very interesting blog and links.

I don’t pay too much attention to what the IPPC have to say because it’s mainly political and has been discredited in the past.

I have one question, does ice core data show that in the past global mean temperature rises have preceded rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is what I have been led to believe.

If correct it makes a nonsense of it being the major factor in forcing our climate and efforts to reduce it misguided?
