Causes Of the Increase In CO2
Much of the rise in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere over the past 11,000 years (the warmer period following the end of the last major glacial period) occurred prior to the industrial revolution; and much of that rise has been attributed to release of CO2 from the oceans as they gradually warmed following the end of the last glacial period. The amount of CO2 that the oceans can hold is temperature dependent; and changes in the average temperature of the oceans occur much more slowly than changes in temperature at the surface of the Earth.
“As human-caused biodiversity loss and climate disruption gain ground, we need to keep our sights clear and understand that the measure of a threat is not a matter of whether it is made on purpose, but of how much loss it may cause. It's an ancient habit to go after those we perceive to be evil because they intended to do harm. It's harder, but more effective, to "go after," meaning to more effectively educate and socialize, those vastly larger numbers of our fellow humans who are not evil, but whose behavior may in fact be far more destructive in the long run." (Ed Ayres, editor of Worldwatch magazine, Nov/Dec 2001)
