Overwhelming scientific consensus is that the cause is human activity – primarily burning of fossil fuels. . Andy Haines . Carbon dioxide measurements since 1957. Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The rise in carbon dioxide is due to our emissions. For every 100t of CO. 2. emitted now, 15-40t will remain in the atmosphere in1000y. When you complete this module, you will be able to. Explain natural causes of global climate change.. Trace the flow of carbon through the carbon cycle.. Explain the natural and human-related processes that cause increases and decreases in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.. PRESENTED. . B. y. Philip S. Weech, Director.
