Atmospheric CO 2 and Temp<br />

• Current level of CO 2 is<br />

outside bounds of natural<br />

variability (meaning that<br />

even though CO 2 has<br />

varied in time the amount<br />

it has increased is even<br />

more than it has<br />

increased in the past)<br />

• Rate of change of CO 2 is<br />

also unprecedented<br />

Note: The graph does not prove causality. Temperature could increase for<br />

some other reason and CO 2 could be responding to that.<br />
