CO2 and climate: there is a correlation

Some British scientists, In a study published in the prestigious journal Nature, have questioned whether it was global warming to cause the increase of CO2. The document, that the magazine published last Wednesday, has broad implications for climate science , because the issue is the workhorse of the current scientific skeptics who deny there is a link between atmospheric carbon and global warming.

In the light of new research, appears that it is extremely likely that the release of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contributes to Melting permafrost and warming of sea water. "This study should put to rest once and for all the false assertion that the increase of carbon dioxide has been a passive consequence of a rise in global temperatures ", dice Mark Maslin, professor at University College London.

"The study, also - adds Maslin - shows that global warming may be amplified by the release of CO2 produced from melting permafrost, that causes the decomposition of organic matter contained in its interior with the consequent release of the gas. So the study, continues the scientist, the close correlation between the increase of CO2 produced by burning fossil fuels and global warming and the consequent climate change. We are facing a real Copernican revolution, as this study argues that the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, million years ago, contributed to raising the temperature on our planet ".
