It should always be pointed out that the rise in carbon dioxide
rise inover the years of monitoring has been very much larger than the
nottemperature over the same period.
...
Relative to what? Given that I'm sure that total absence CO2 would
interprettranslate to an Earth temperature of 0 K, I don't know how to
beginning ofthis statement.
Relative to the initial temperature and concentartion at the
the monitoring period. Sorry, I thought that would be clear fromcontext.
The (relative) increase in temperature is only about 0.02%, and theCO2
concentration has increased by about 14% since 1958 (see, forexample,
