Burning Oceans/Flaming Clouds update.

Jennifer Marohasy published a very interesting piece on the supposed flow of CO2 from the northern to the southern hemisphere.

The “we’re all going to die” school of thought on global warming^[1] has it that humans produce dangerous quantities of CO2 and this, when introduced into the atmosphere, causes the heat of the sun’s rays to be trapped in the earth’s atmosphere causing global temps to rise, including those in Cleveland.

From studies of the atmospheric transport of carbon-14 from nuclear tests in the 50s and 60s in the northern hemisphere, we know that stuff released into the atmosphere in the north takes about six months to appear in the south. But, given that CO2 in the atmosphere IS increasing, it turns out that it increases in the north and the south simultaneously with no time difference between the two hemispheres. Since 75% of CO2 from fossil fuels released into the atmosphere is released north of latitude 30 [in the north] the conventional view would expect for there to be a disparate concentration in the north and the south.

But there isn’t.

Conclusion? Annual increases in atmospheric C02 “may be coming from a global or equatorial source,” such as El Nino or the Southern Oscillation.

For good measure, read where she -- and 115 other scientists -- take Pres. Obama to task for his Chicken Little misstatements on global warming. ^[3]
