Global Warming:?

Question

Why does the concentration of the earth's CO2 rise and fall within one year??

Answer 1

Plants do not just intake CO2 via photosynthesis, they also produce CO2 via respiration. During the summer months, plants primarily intake CO2 and generate oxygen. However during winter, the majority of plants actually generate more CO2 than they intake. A good example of this would be in a fresh water aquarium with many plants it is important to ensure that the aquarium light runs at least twelve hours a day or you will get a CO2 build up in the water, that could be capable of poisoning any non plant species, with a matter of weeks.

Answer 2

Summer-winter.

The common answer is that in summer plants busily turn CO2 into O2 through photosynthesis. In winter they still respire turning O2 into CO2, just like animals do. Seems that most of us don't know that summertime in the north is winter 'down under' or that the CO2 is measured on a volcano in Hawaii where they seem don't have much of a winter.

Anyway, Mauna Loa, Hawaii gives us the "GLOBAL" CO2 levels, that rise and fall with the seasons of the northern hemisphere. CO2 is highest in the northern spring and lowest in the northern autumn, making global CO2 levels consistent with a northern hemisphere expectation.

There will be some who say that this is as it should be since most of the land is in the northern hemisphere. They forget that the entire ocean is one giant plankton farm with the southern oceans busily photosynthesizing CO2 into O2 during the northern hemisphere's 'off season.'

There is probably some sense in all of this. Until we know what it is, we will fabricate our own reasons. The reasons with widest acceptance will probably also explain why the IPCC uses only northern hemisphere temperature data to show the skyrocketing temperatures.(while the southern hemisphere fails to warm!)

Answer 3

Throughout the spring and summer days, leaves grow rapidly and a great deal of carbon dioxide is consumed in the growing of the leaves and subsequent normal respiration processes - so the CO2 level drops.

In the fall and winter when the trees drop their leaves, the CO2 level rises.

This accounts for the zig-zags or wiggles on the graph shown in the link below, but the overall trend of atmospheric CO2 is rising rapidly due to human emissions.

Answer 4

Climate is constantly changing.

It is a perfect example of how CO2 follows temperature, instead of leading it.
The Earth's average temperature varies over the course of a year. That temperature drives everything, vegetation growth, human activity, the seas, and the air itself. CO2 output varies from both natural causes like forest fires and from human activity.

Oceans contain 50 times more CO2 than air. When the ocean is warmer it release more CO2, and reclaims it when it cools. But that is a very slow process.

Short term is irrelevant. It is long term averages, tens of years, where measurements are important.

Besides, water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, accounting for almost all of the greenhouse effect.

Answer 5

co2 falling while emissions of co2 are increasing exponentially?

This can only prove one thing - that climatologist don't have a very good understanding about the climate.

Answer 6

No option in John 8:32, but there is a notable chanGe:
Ye (do err)......... changes to ..........You (made perfect).

Big Meltdown should melt some frozen chosen hearts,
if they hear the PST: be grace us before @ss is grass.

So then, we'll go with grace is sufficient (no law req'd).

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 7

The difference between summer and winter.
