Formulations of human-induced variations in global temperature

Abstract

Mathematical expressions which represent possible human influence on global temperature variations are developed, analysed and discussed. On this basis, it is established that the surface–atmosphere system possesses in-built characteristics by which it naturally suppresses or nullifies variations in global temperature and solar energy patterns caused by anthropogenic activities. This establishment implies that, contrary to previous expectations and opinions, anthropogenic activities hardly generate significant net alterations in global temperature or solar energy patterns. However, these anthropogenic activities can significantly alter other parameters of the surface–atmosphere system. This is apparently the first scientific finding in the open literature which tends to support the consistent disputing of the human element in climate change by the USA and Australia as well as the views of the “climate skeptics” which heavily supported the September 2003 World Climate Change Conference held in Moscow.
