AWhat changed
Reported systematic atmospheric carbon-dioxide measurements revealing seasonal and geographic variation and a persistent increase at the Antarctic stations.
Scientific scope
Reported systematic atmospheric carbon-dioxide measurements revealing seasonal and geographic variation and a persistent increase at the Antarctic stations. Scope limitation: 1960 is the selected paper; the sustained monitoring program began earlier. A short record alone is not the full modern attribution of climate change.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. 1960 is the selected paper; the sustained monitoring program began earlier. A short record alone is not the full modern attribution of climate change.
