Description
Summary:This report addresses the question of the sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide, considers the distribution of the present carbon dioxide among the atmospheric, oceanic and biospheric reservoirs, and assesses the impact of significant increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide as reflected by the change in average ground temperature at each latitude. Possible direct impacts of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on the biosphere are also considered. 50 figures, 33 tables.
