abstract
After 1750 and the start of the industrial revolution, the anthropogenic fossil and non-fossil components of total atmospheric CO2 concentration, C
INTRODUCE
At a time that has passed t many years since 1750 (beginning of the industrial revolution with the beginning of the use of fossil fuels in vehicles and power plants), CO in the atmosphere2 concentration, C
Other atmospheric measurements of C
Both d13C and D14C statistics represent 1,000 times their relative deviations (13C/twelfthC) and (14C /twelfthC) the ratio of atoms to the 1950 standard ratio (Karlen et al. 1964) when expressed in per mil, is given by the symbol ‰. This magnification increases their basic relative offsets and slopes in the graphs by a factor of 1,000. While such amplification techniques are often useful to show very small changes in the quantity of interest, the interpretation of such exaggerated changes must be carefully attended to. In the cases of interest here, the resulting steep slopes of the land likely led people around the world to conclude that a anthropogenic component was driving the increase in CO.2 and cause global warming. We believe that both statistics have been misused to confirm the composition of man-made fossils, OLDF
The global carbon cycle and its effect on CO2 quantily
Global carbon cycle for CO2 described by the Energy Information Administration (EIA 2020). Natural, two-way CO exchange2 occurs between the atmosphere and its two exchange reservoirs, the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere. Two-way exchange with the atmosphere also occurs from changes in land use. The ocean is the largest reservoir of CO2and it contains 50 times as much atmosphere and 19 times as much terrestrial biosphere (Encyclopedia of water 2005). All two-way exchanges considered in this paper include both non-fossil components and man-made fossil components. Annual change, DCNF
