Yearly temperature variation and atmospheric CO2 levels, 1979 – 2018

A new and unique climate change tutorial for average citizens, policy makers and elected leaders is launched with positive reviews.

Tom Tamarkin reports that his new site greatclimatedebate.com has been created to help guide people through what is really going on with the climate as the climate has and always will change. The site has received high marks on most of the skeptical scientists sites on Facebook. There is nothing else like it online.

Below we have pleasure in posting a sample from one of the tutorial pages:

Correlations of decrease in Average worldwide temperature and volcanic activity are high.

Correlation of increase in average worldwide temperatures and El Niño events are high.

Correlation of atmospheric CO₂ centration and temperature increases are extremely weak or nonexistent. See Pearson Correlation analysis.

The total atmospheric CO₂ concentration represented by the Mauna Loa, Hawaii Keeling curve shows an almost straight line degree of annual change from 337 ppm in 1979 to 408 ppm in 2018. The rate of change in annual anthropogenic global fossil-fuel carbon emissions is shown to be, in five year time frames, from 1979 to 1999, as follows; 1979-84 -89, 1984-89 +817, 1989-94 +169, 1994-99 +344, 1999-2004 +1,197, 2004-2009 +933. This shows that the Keeling curve reflecting total atmospheric CO₂ concentration is not materially affected by annual anthropogenic global fossil-fuel carbon emissions.

Annual Global Fossil-Fuel Carbon Emissions

Yearly temperature variation and atmospheric CO₂ levels. See the correlation?

Forty years of annual temperature variations and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are presented on one chart. There is no correlation between CO2 and temperature. None! Never in the course of human events has man spent so much money on so little…. But then what’s a trillion dollars here and a trillion dollars there?

Temperature variation is based on the UAH satellite based lower tropospheric data set. This is presented as the 30 year average, 1981-2010. It does not change the ranking; it is merely an additive offset. For yearly averages one could just use the raw temperatures, but scientists use monthly anomalies so much, it’s important to have removed the seasonal cycle, which dominates the variability. The Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) curve is the universally accepted Keeling curve based on the Mauna Loa, Hawaii monitoring station and obtained from the NOAA data base. The red sinusoidal lines through the CO₂ curve represent the seasonal variations caused by plant life CO₂ intake.
