Rise of CO 2  concentration
Oceans are getting acidic ,[object Object],Plankton Korallenriffe
CO 2  is a Greenhouse Gas “ Climate Sensitivity” Arrhenius 1896   (4-6  ºC ) 3  ± 1  ºC   Human-caused forcing until now should have caused   0,7 – 0,9 ºC  warming
Global Temperature Global warming predicted (Sawyer,  Nature   1972 , Broecker,  Science   1975 )
Global Temperature in April 2010 1880-1920
Solar activit y We’re in the longest and deepest minimum of solar activity since at least 30 years.
The next 100 years A2 B1 A1FI High Emissions Lower Emissions

Notas del editor

  1. Abbildung 4.3-1 Aragonitsättigung und gegenwärtige Riffstandorte von Warmwasserkorallen (blaue Punkte). (a) vorindustrielle Werte (ca. 1870, atmosphärische CO2-Konzentration 280 ppm), (b) Gegenwart (ca. 2005, 375 ppm CO2), (c) Zukunft (ca. 2065, 517 ppm CO2). Der Grad der Aragonitsättigung ( Ù ) bezeichnet das relative Verhältnis zwischen dem Produkt der Konzentrationen von Kalzium- und Karbonationen und dem Löslichkeitsprodukt für Aragonit. Standorte mit einer Aragonitsättigung unterhalb von 3,5 sind nur noch bedingt für riffbildende Warmwasserkorallen geeignet (marginal), unterhalb von 3 sind sie ungeeignet.
