Abstract

Correlation among the global temperature change, level of heat-trapping gases and carbon dioxide emissions is shown in the first three graphs for the past 140 years. In grab a both the annual mean temperature (spiky curve) and the five-year running mean (smooth curve) are plotted. Graphs b and c show the atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane content respectively. Pre-1958 data come from analyses of air trapped in bubbles of glacial ice from various sites around the world. The annual production of carbon from fossil-fuel burning (black) and from change in land use (color) is shown in d; the last data were obtained from historical sources.
