Can you trust cO2 readings from Mauna Loa Hawaii?

Question

Any intelligent person knows that volcanoes create large amounts of CO2.
So why should we trust Co2 readings from "largest active volcano on Earth" according to:
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/SProdsRegions.html

The Alarmists seem to trust these CO2 readings and this is their primary source of CO2 data. Maybe they ARE NOT Intelligent???

Answer 1

Rick, in the future you might want to do a little research before commenting on other people's intelligence.

Like for example, reading the answers to your previous nearly identical questions. I think an intelligent person would probably check to see if somebody had answered his question before asking it again.

Answer 2

examine out the suggestions. If the volcano is affecting the suggestions, the place is the sign? On my device a single human breath will replace the sign by potential of a few % (equivalent to the as quickly as a year fluctuation interior the Mauna Loa documents). If volcanic interest have been a element, there could be odd spikes interior the CO2 concentration by potential of countless % correlated with eruptions. Secondly, I observed Bob's link and in comparison the Mauna Loa documents with documents from Alert lat eighty two.40 5 N long -sixty two.fifty two. The correlation between Mauna Loa and Alert is ideas-blowing. Is there a pipeline wearing volcanic gasses from Mauna Loa to northern Canada, or are the two places independently measuring international CO2 concentrations?

Answer 3

Since the Mauna Loa readings overlap the ice core readings and other direct measurements from half way around the world, as shown in the sources, it is clear that CO2 levels are the same world wide. CO2 is well mixed throughout the atmosphere. And there are more readings taken than just at Mauna Loa. These scientists aren't stupid and not trying to trick you. They know what they are doing and are doing it correctly. The 3rd source tells you that CO2 is being measured at all these locations:
Mauna Loa, Hawaii
Barrow, Alaska
American Samoa
South Pole
Alert, NWT, Canada
Cape Kumukahi
Christmas Island
Baring Head
Kermadec Island
La Jolla Pier (California)

So these numbers do not come from only one source!!!

Answer 4

Rick, thanks for thinking before you drink the green Kool-Aid. 1 data point does not good science make. Ya think maybe a volcano puts out carbon dioxide? HMM. No, just evil humans! There need to be many data points and a single variable. Plus Mauna Loa rises several thousand feet in the air so that's where CO2 settles.
