Atmosphere36
- Based on the chemical properties of tiny micrometeorites that fell to Earth 2.7 billion years ago, a team of researchers says that the planet's atmosphere was likely chock-full of carbon dioxide back then. (astronomy.com)
- From their models, the researchers estimate that carbon dioxide made up anywhere from 6 percent to more than 70 percent of our ancient atmosphere. (astronomy.com)
- By comparison, our atmosphere today is 0.04 percent carbon dioxide. (astronomy.com)
- Wüstite can't form on Earth's surface, so the micrometeorites must have encountered oxygen while they fell through the atmosphere - if not as oxygen gas, then maybe as carbon dioxide. (astronomy.com)
- To see what levels of carbon dioxide and other gases would create the minerals they saw, Lehmer and others ran computer models of iron-rich micrometeorites falling through Earth's atmosphere with various concentrations of carbon dioxide. (astronomy.com)
- The team found that an atmosphere with lots of carbon dioxide - tens of percent by volume, and possibly 70 percent or more - would make micrometeorites with the right amounts of wüstite. (astronomy.com)
- The high concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have kept the planet warm enough for liquid water and life. (astronomy.com)
- To pin down a more precise number for just how much carbon dioxide was in Earth's atmosphere around this time, Lehmer said, they'd need more micrometeorites to compare their models to. (astronomy.com)
- But he's excited that they were able to estimate the carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere this way. (astronomy.com)
- If they can find even older examples of micrometeorites with wüstite, they could potentially figure out how much carbon dioxide was in Earth's atmosphere over time and paint a clearer picture of the early Earth's history. (astronomy.com)

- Some scientists believe that the human contribution to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, however small, is of a critical amount that could nonetheless upset Earth's environmental balance. (sciencedaily.com)
- Here's how Essenhigh sees the global temperature system working: As temperatures rise, the carbon dioxide equilibrium in the water changes, and this releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (sciencedaily.com)
- He examined data that Cambridge University geologists Nicholas Shackleton and Neil Opdyke reported in the journal Quaternary Research in 1973, which found that global temperatures have been oscillating steadily, with an average rising gradually, over the last one million years -- long before human industry began to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Atmospheric9
- The researcher suggests that atmospheric carbon dioxide -- often thought of as a key "greenhouse gas" -- is not the cause of global warming. (sciencedaily.com)
- Compared to man-made sources' emission of about 5 to 6 billion tons per year, the natural sources would then account for more than 95 percent of all atmospheric carbon dioxide, Essenhigh said. (sciencedaily.com)
- At 6 billion tons, humans are then responsible for a comparatively small amount - less than 5 percent - of atmospheric carbon dioxide," he said. (sciencedaily.com)
- According to this scenario, atmospheric carbon dioxide is then an indicator of rising temperatures -- not the driving force behind it. (sciencedaily.com)
- Keeling, a 30-year old scientist from California, had initially made a name for himself in the science community by devising a unique method of sampling of carbon dioxide, which had revealed some intriguing patterns-namely, that the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide was relatively uniform throughout the entire northern hemisphere, averaging about 310 parts per million. (smithsonianmag.com)
- Now, he came to the top of the world's largest volcano to check in on a new project that he hoped would change the way that the scientific community measured atmospheric carbon dioxide. (smithsonianmag.com)
