Abstract
Newly compiled energy statistics allow for an estimation of the complete time series of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from fossil-fuel use for the years 1751 to the present. The time series begins with 3 × 10 6 metric tonnes carbon (C). This initial flux represents the early stages of the fossil-fuel era. The CO 2 flux increased exponentially until World War I. The time series derived here seamlessly joins the modern 1950 to present time series. Total cumulative CO 2 emissions through 1949 were 61.0 × 10 9 tonnes C from fossil-fuel use, virtually all since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution around 1860. The rate of growth continues to grow during present times, generating debate on the probability of enhanced greenhouse warming. In addition to global totals, national totals and 1° global distributions of the data have been calculated. DOI: 10.1034/j.1600-0889.1999.t01-3-00002.x
期刊介绍:
Tellus B: Chemical and Physical Meteorology along with its sister journal Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, are the international, peer-reviewed journals of the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm, an independent non-for-profit body integrated into the Department of Meteorology at the Faculty of Sciences of Stockholm University, Sweden. Aiming to promote the exchange of knowledge about meteorology from across a range of scientific sub-disciplines, the two journals serve an international community of researchers, policy makers, managers, media and the general public.
