No Reliable Studies of Climate Change Without Henry’s Law and A New Thermometer for The Global Temperature

Abstract

Jyrki Kauppinen* and Pekka Malmi

In our previous paper “No experimental evidence for the significant anthropogenic climate change” we had a reference to this paper. Thus, we have presented a new theory: how Henry’s Law regulates the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. This theory uses a physically perfect unit impulse response to convolve signals. By comparing the theory and the present observations we are able to derive the response time about 7.4 years, which is roughly the residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere. In addition, according to Henry’s Law we can derive the temperature dependence of the equilibrium concentration of CO2 . It turns out that now the major increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is due to the temperature change, the reason for which is approximately a change of cloudiness (90%) and the rest (10%) the greenhouse effect. The corresponding increase of CO2 is 83 ppm/°C. According to our theory, the causality is very clear: the increase of the temperature results in more CO2 in the atmosphere. This further CO2 concentration increases also the temperature but less than 10% via the greenhouse effect. The human contribution to the CO2 concentration and the temperature is very small. About 90% of a big human release of CO2 dissolves in water. That is why the hu- man release now warms the climate less than 0.03°C. We can also perform an inverse operation or calculate the temperature profile from the observed CO2 curve. So we propose a new thermometer for the global surface temperature. This can be used almost in real time and it is more accurate than the present methods. It turns out that probably also N2 O and SF6 concentrations in the atmosphere operate as global thermometers.
