Abstract

Carbon dioxide emission scenarios do not influence the global warming potential of CO2 with respect to other radioactive trace gases. Six scenarios are examined to indicate that atmospheric CO2 concentration is inversely proportional to the variation in climate. The sea absorbs less CO2 from the atmosphere due to increased concentrations of dissolved carbon in the sea's surface.
