world population in 1992 was 5.4 billion. It just went over 7 billion.
a billion and a half more people exhaling from one end and producing methane at the other...never mentioned.
Bull$h!t. The world economy was in a horrid downturn during this period and should have actually produced less.
i’m shocked that they are shocked!

This study is BS. No way we are producing more CO2 with a world economy that has crashed. Absolutely impossible. Economies have been drastically slowed. No one has been experiencing significant growth. This is all based on a number calculated by cronies. People bought and paid for by the vast AGW lobby.
Has someone demonstrated conclusively that the amount of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere has the capacity to absorb enough solar long wave back radiation to significantly affect the temperature of said atmosphere? Is radiation absorption saturation being considered?
Golly, all those emissions and not a bit of warming for the last ten years. Imagine that. The correlation doesn’t appear to be too good.
Anyone promoting this story is a crony. IE - Lying sack of poop.
Its a logarithmic response curve. We simply wont get much more direct warming from increasing CO2 levels now. What they count on is mythical positive feed back via an increase in water vapor due to the increased warmth from the CO2.
It’s from the Occupy mutts burning trash.
With global warming more people are drinking beer and the CO2 is being released. It’s the Global Beer Fizz Effect.
Not a soul has, thus far. On top of that, the IPCC's "climate models" exclude H2O, which distorts their results, and uses CO2 as their "base" as though there were no water vapor in the atmosphere, which is junk science.

yep, and from all the evidence, feedback is turning negative. More storminess (e.g. increased rainfall) is a negative feedback. Storm tracks further south is negative and blocking patterns such as the ones that cause extreme rainfall in one area and heat waves / drought in another.
We have, at least when measured at the official Mauna Loa measurement site. The weekly reading http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/weekly.html shows a 1.4 ppm increase from a year ago (1.4 ppm per year), but 20 ppm increase from 10 years ago (2ppm per year). Clearly the rise in CO2 is slowing.
Interesting, thanks for the co2 spike info. I wonder what causes that? If only there were enough scientists left over from trying to prove evolution and glowbull warming to actually study what is going on out there.
I hate science that ends every supposition with a period instead of a question mark.

Indeed, if there is one thing that Marotzke is sure of, it is this: "The laws of nature will continue to function without remorse no matter what mankind does or allows."
