New research claims human emissions are not driving atmospheric CO2.<\/p>\n

A paper by Dai Ato ran multiple linear regressions for 1959 to 2022, testing two predictors of the annual CO2 increase: sea surface temperature and human emissions. The result was clear: when the oceans warmed, CO2 levels rose almost exactly in step – about two to three parts per million for every one degree Celsius of warming. Adding human emissions to the model didn’t change the outcome.<\/p>\n

Using only ocean temperature, the model reproduced global CO2 levels with near-perfect accuracy – a correlation of 0.995 and an error of just one to two ppm by 2022.<\/p>\n

The main factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is sea surface temperature rather than human emissions.<\/p>\n

Earlier studies have shown the same pattern. Temperature changes first, CO2 follows.<\/p>\n

If Ato is correct, cutting human emissions won’t lower atmospheric CO2 because it’s the oceans that set the pace.<\/p>\n
