Death of Global Warming, Part 2

Myth #3: Humans are not the source of the recent increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration.

I have to give the author props for this one. Given the analysis in part one, humans are the major source of CO2.

However there is some evidence that that carbon isotope ratios aren't definitive. Further, a Japanese enviromental satellite indicates that the sources of CO2 are Brazil, Africa, and Asia. North America (US/Canada) and Northern Europe are net sinks of CO2.


Myth #4: CO₂ is rising at 0.38% per year, not 1% per year as the IPCC Third Assessment Report claimed.

For 2011 the increase was 1.96 ppm. So, CO2 is going up 2.0 ppm. Concentration is 400 ppm (more or less). That would mean 0.5% per year. So the truth is in the middle. The IPCC is absolutely wrong and the myth is kind of wrong. We grade a 100% miss as wrong. 0.38% (roughly 31 percent off) is bad at math wrong.
