There’s only one problem; it’s 12 years old! Not really unexpected given Mann’s problematic history with dating proxies and such. His Tweet […]

Sonnenzyklen, globale Temperatur und atmosphärische CO2-Konzentrationen seit Beginn der Industrialisierung
Posted on September 4, 2020 Leave a Comment
Wird der Anstieg der globalen Erwärmung kausal verursacht durch den Anstieg atmosphärischer CO2-Konzentrationen oder ist es der Anstieg der globalen Erwärmung, der sekundär die atmosphärischen CO2-Konzentrationen ansteigen lässt? Diese Frage ist elementar für die Betrachtung des Klimawandels. Sie ist aber leicht zu beantworten, wenn man sich die vorliegenden Messwerte anschaut. In der nachfolgenden Abbildung sind die Länge der Sonnenzyklen, […]
