CRU Information Sheet no. 8: Modelling Climate Change
Because of the absence of an ocean component, and because only slow computers were available, these experiments could only be performed to simulate short periods (e.g. 10 years) and their results could not be ...

Software/SPECTRE
UK. Initially, a greenhouse gas emissions scenario has to be chosen from a pre-defined set of nine such scenarios. The global warming and carbon dioxide concentration projections for each scenario have been derived from MAGICC, a simple upwelling-diffusion energy balance model widely used by the IPCC ...

Two new studies quash industrialised countries hopes of meeting most of their Kyoto commitments by using carbon sinks Forests and soil 'sinks' may not eventually turn out to be so useful to industrialised ... dioxide absorbed by trees, no matter how enriched the air is in terms of its carbon dioxide concentration. The second study conducted on the same site suggests that forest soils are unlikely to ...

Carbon Dioixde
At the end of the last Ice Age 14,000 years ago, the level of carbon dioxide in the air increased about 50%. Scientists believe this may explain some of the rise in global temperatures that occurred at that time. Following this global climate transition the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration remained fairly constant at about 280 parts per million until the end of the 18th ...

Global Warming Solution: Carbon Dioxide Personal Quota
CO2 quota How else can we survive? THE PERSONAL CARBON DIOXIDE QUOTAThe personal carbon dioxide quota is the maximum quantity of CO2 each of us may emit into the atmosphere every year without causing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere to rise above its present level. The quota is measured in dAubs. Because of scientific uncertainty, ...

About Carbon dioxide
Since the industrial revolution concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have increased at an ever faster rate. Certainly, at some point in the future concentrations will level off, but the impact this new concentration of carbon dioxide will have on our climate and on sea level could be severe.

Carbon dioxide
Austria, and colleagues at the Desert Research Institute in Nevada, have revealed that desert areas may act as important carbon sinks. 12th April 2008 Hell and Hansen James Hansen, of NASA's Goddard Institute, has said that the target concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere should be 350 parts per million - 30ppm less than the current level. 8th January 2008 ...

1-4 Atmospheric Composition, Carbon Dioxide
Unit Problem to Ponder: If carbon dioxide (molecular weight 44) is so much heavier than nitrogen (molecular weight 28) and oxygen (molecular weight 32), why doesn't it have a higher concentration near the surface? Unit exam questions from previous years Unit discussions from previous years, available from the current online discussion from ...

Problems associated with this is: The process is designed to remove carbon dioxide from high concentration sources, not from ordinary air.
