Air Pollution: Our Ecological Alarm and Blessing in Disguise

Air pollution is the one feedback signal of nan\u27s overgrazing of his ecological niche on the planet Earth capable of sptreading an alarm throughout the encapsulated cities and suburbs and hopefully in time to allow preventive action. It has already stimulated a greater awareness of and interest in man\u27s total environment and his impact on other species. If air pollution does, indeed, arouse man to come to a planned, as opposed to a catastrophically imposed, equilibrium with the ecology of Earth no one can deny that it will truly have been a blessing in disguise

Atmospheric carbon dioxide and the climatic record

This paper is an attempt to provide a summary review of conclusions from previous studies on this subject. They have been organized under the following subject headings: Conceptualization of the greenhouse effect; The climatic effect of doubled carbon dioxide; Interpretation of the climatic record; Diagnosis of apparent and possible model deficiencies; The paleoclimatic record

Decomposition of radiational effects of model feedbacks

Three separate doubled CO/sub 2/ experiments with the statistical dynamic model are used to illustrate efforts to study the climate dynamics, feedbacks, and interrelationships of meteorological parameters by decomposing and isolating their individual effects on radiation transport

Has Man, Through Increasing Emissions of Particulates, Changed the Climate

Paper reviewing data and papers related to airborne particulates. The paper discusses the likelihood that any increase in particulates is manmade, but does not address possible effects
