    Predictions of global warming look doomed

    Comments 0 | Recommend 0

    At present, each year 186 billion tons of CO2 enter the atmosphere from all sources, of which 3.3 percent comes from human activities.

    More than 100 billion tons, 57 percent, are given off by the oceans and 71 billion tons, 38 percent, are exhaled by animals, including humans.

    The cooling in the first decade of the 21st century is almost as much as the whole warming of the 20th century.

    Therefore, predictions of global warming by human emissions of CO2 in the 21st century look doomed.

    STUART H. JONES, Yuma
