400.000 year temperature CO2 relation
Friday, February 27th, 2009This analysis will make the relation between all time temperature and CO2 content in the atmosphere more understandable.
CO2 Temperature relation over 400.000 Years
The Graph below shows the temperature and CO2 curve from 400,000 years ago until our days. Co2 never had passed 300ppm (parts per million). It becomes evident that if there is more CO2 in the atmosphere, the temperature will continue to rise. In less than 50 years CO2 content in our atmosphere will double if we do not take immediate action.
The ten hottest years on record have occurred in the last 14 years and the year 2007 was the hottest year ever registered in history. Between 1998 and 2007 made measurements have show that all time record temperatures where reached all over the world. The average temerature on the earth surface is at 0.5 degrees celsius above the 1960 – 1990 year average.
0.5 degrees Celsius doesn’t sound a lot, but physicists have investigated that at just 1 degree above this average temperature ALL crocodiles will be extinguished…
Temperature anomalies
In the last few years we all have been able to notice “extreme” weather situations. Sometimes in the winter, the sun was shining and temperatures where extremeley above normal averages. This has caused certains trees and plants to “think” that it is spring, they started blooming. But within a week the freezing cold returned, irrevocabley destroying their flowers and thus their capacitie to reproduce.
Weather going crazy
In spain, 2008 and 2009 for the first time ever in history, tornadoes where reported, with severe destruction on their paths. This abnormal crazy weather is caused by the climatic change. Global temperature systems that where more or less stable during the last couple hundred thousand years are now loosing their stability and moving of to the extremes.
An Ice Age is coming
Some physicists warn that this instable weather is an indicator for a coming ice age. Ice drilling in the arctics and antarctic have shown that just before the last few ice ages arrived, just several years before, the same weather pattern as today was present.
They where able to identify this fact due to the presence of melted and re-frozen layers, with distinct quantities of pollution present within these layers.
The Polar Caps
Latest studies by german physicists show that the sea water levels will rice faster then first assumed. With improoved equipment the exact salt content in the frozen water could be mesured. This level was thought to be much lower than what it is in reality. Ice with higher salt content will melt at lower temperatures because salt lowers the freezing point of water.
