Feel free, however, to think that my post is silly. Edit; Correction; a single year of volcanic eruptions, of course, not one eruption. |
the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere jumped up by ~100ppm since the "industrial revolution" from a mean of ~280ppm in 1000-1850 to 380+ppm nowadays (graph ends at 330, but newest measurements show 380-390ppm)
the other important contributor to the green house effect is considered to be methane, which shows a very very similar trend
seems we had a lot of volcanic/natural activity lately, as human activity doesn't emit much, huh?
