This report will try to counter arguments made by Danish climate sceptic Ole Humlum and Johannes Krüger. This was done by making calculations to disprove the claims of these climate sceptics. Ole Humlum claims that the oceans should be able to store all CO2 from the atmosphere. This claim is theoretically correct, but what was found is that the average amount of CO2 absorbed from 1959 to 2014 by the oceans are closer to 24% which is significantly lower, then what Humlum claimed. Johannes Krüger argues that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, is not linked with the rise in temperature. To disprove this, we made calculations on what would happen if the CO2 concentration was doubled from 400 to 800 ppm, which would cause the temperature to rise by 0,67°C. Taking these things in perspective proves that the arguments made by Ole Humlum and Johannes Krüger can be disproven
