Abstract

Digital signal processing technology was used to analyze daily carbon dioxide data from the joint NOAA – Scripps Oceanographic Institution’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (MLO).  The period surrounding the 1991 eruption of the Pinatubo volcano was rigorously analyzed for slope and acceleration of net global average atmospheric CO₂ concentration and found to be consistent with the theory that Henry’s Law, the Law of Mass Action, and Le Chatelier’s principle control net global average atmospheric CO₂ concentration rather than human-produced CO₂ emissions.  Background and theory are explained.  A method of using common physics and math for a novel purpose is presented to compare natural CO₂emission or absorption with human-produced CO₂ emission.  The claim that human-produced CO₂ emission is causing increasing global CO₂ concentration and climate change is shown to be without scientific merit.
