Climate Change Deceit & Facts.

Some facts on climate change.

“This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution. (Source: NOAA)” (See below)

Whilst it may not be sensible to rely on Wiki as a single source i do feel it generaly gives a good set of sources and general overviews of subjects.
Here’s the article on climate change scientific opinion.

Here’s the overall article on climate change.

Here’s the Geological Society of London statement on climate change

The last sentance is of interest: “In the light of the evidence presented here it is reasonable to conclude that emitting further large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere over time is likely to be unwise, uncomfortable though that fact may be.”

A interesting booklet from the US National Academies.

This is interesting:
“Clues from the “fingerprint” of carbon dioxide. In a process that takes place over millions of years, carbon from the decay of plants and animals is stored deep in the Earth’s crust in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas (see Figure 4). Because this “fossil” carbon is so old, it contains very little of the radioisotope carbon-14—a form of the carbon that decays naturally over long time periods. When scientists measure carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere, they find that it is much lower than the levels in living ecosystems, indicating that there is an abundance of “old” carbon. While a small fraction of this old carbon can be attributed to volcanic eruptions, the overwhelming majority
comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Average CO2 emissions from volcanoes are about 200 million tons per year, while humans are emitting an estimated 36 billion tons of CO2 each year, 80-85% of which are from fossil fuels.”
