Natural and anthropogenic changes in atmospheric CO2 over the last 1000 years from air in Antarctic ice and firn
Abstract
A record of atmospheric CO 2 mixing ratios from 1006 A.D. to 1978 A.D. has been produced by analysing the air enclosed in three ice cores from Law Dome, Antarctica. The enclosed air has unparalleled age resolution and extends into recent decades, because of the high rate of snow accumulation at the ice core sites. The CO 2 data overlap with the record from direct atmospheric measurements for up to 20 years. The effects of diffusion in the firn on the CO 2 mixing ratio and age of the ice core air were determined by analyzing air sampled from the surface down to the bubble close‐off depth. The uncertainty of the ice core CO 2 mixing ratios is 1.2 ppm (1 σ). Preindustrial CO 2 mixing ratios were in the range 275–284 ppm, with the lower levels during 1550–1800 A.D., probably as a result of colder global climate. Natural CO 2 variations of this magnitude make it inappropriate to refer to a single preindustrial CO 2 level. Major CO 2 growth occurred over the industrial period except during 1935–1945 A.D. when CO 2 mixing ratios stabilized or decreased slightly, probably as a result of natural variations of the carbon cycle on a decadal timescale.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
