The rising sea level is exponential!

EXPONENTIAL.

The new satellite data confirm that the rise in sea level is not constant but exponentially, following the curve of the increase in population and CO2 production. The increase reached a new record 2012.

CONFIRMATION SATELLITE.

Satellite data 20 Recent years have a slope greater than that of 130 years.

 

 

 

 

COAL VS RISE

The increase in coal production is reflected in the graph of rising sea level.

 

 

 

AGE OF COAL AND OIL VERSUS LEVEL RISE OF THE SEA.

The curve of rising sea level following the rise of the curve of coal production and oil.

 

Exponential increase in CO2 emissions

 

EXPONENTIAL INCREASE OF CO2

Aside from economic downturns (2008) slow to come up, which would otherwise be hyper-exponential CO2 emissions are well and truly exponential, following the curve of global demographic and economic development.

 

 

 

EXPONENTIAL INCREASE VS SATELLITE DATA

Satellite data of 20 recent years indicate an upward exponential corresponds to the increase of CO2 emissions.

 

CONFIRMATION OF EXPONENTIAL INCREASE THE LEVEL OF THE SEA.

 

No matter how predict a steady increase in sea level, conservative or pessimistic, rising real, optimistic or pessimistic, indicates an exponential increase in the short term.

 

PROSPECTIVE: UP HYPER-EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL.

If the permafrost thaws in the far north and allows a considerable amount of methane to escape into the atmosphere(1) rising sea level would, in that event, hyperexponentielle.

 

PIC OIL

Peak oil could reduce the temperature rise if energy consumption was reduced. But it was rather amplified by the increase in coal production and gas.

And it remains to be determined whether there really peak oil. Is that new discoveries and operated oil slicks are really down and that is peak oil reported by petroleum, and carried from year to year, is real or an excuse to raise prices and… profits!
