As illustrated in the Evans et al graph below, coastal upwelling can oversaturate the surface waters to 1000 matm, 2.5 times above atmospheric pCO 2 (represented by dashed horizontal line).

This year is set to be the coolest since 2000, according to a preliminary estimate of global average temperature that is due to be released next week by the Met Office. The global average for 2008 should come in close to 14.3C, which is 0.14C below the average temperature for 2001-07. | 1_3 |
The Yen has largely gone flat, though with a slight residual drop.

After the fourth year of atmospheric CO 2 enrichment, a detailed analysis indicated that elevated CO 2 reduced needle stomatal density by an average of 7.4%.

Proponents of carbon pricing argue it is the least cost way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The last thing we should be doing now, in our state of ignorance about the warming problem and institutional responses, is to rush into an unworkable worldwide policy.

What has struck me in doing this analysis is that looking at individual surface temperature stations becomes nonsensical, as they are grid reference points.
