Yet Another Study Shows Temp Changes Before CO2 Changes

Written by Kenneth Richard

A few years ago, Dr. Koutsoyiannis and colleagues used equations associated with the chemistry of temperature-driven organic respiration to demonstrate that since the late 1950s, temperature-induced increases in plant and soil emissions (31.6 Gt-C/yr) account for a 3.4 times greater ratio of the >100 ppm rise in atmospheric CO2 than the contribution from the increase in ‘fossil fuel’ emissions (9.4 Gt-C/yr)
