Conclusion : Although CO2 in the atmosphere is only 0.04%, before the Industrial Revolution the world had only 0.028% CO2. More CO2 causes the global average temperature to increase by 1.1 degrees Celsius. If the amount of CO2 increases to 0.05%, the average global temperature will rise by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, which will have serious negative effects on the environment. FACT CHECK : Check the facts : The role of CO2 in regulating global temperature When the world receives heat energy from the sun That energy is reflected back to outer space in the form of infrared radiation or heat radiation. 99% of the earth's atmosphere It consists of gases that cannot retain heat reflected from the earth's surface (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9 % argon). The remaining 1% is gas that can retain heat from the earth's surface. One of them is carbon dioxide gas (0.04%). Carbon dioxide gas can store half of the heat in Earth's atmosphere. and sending the other half of the heat out of the earth's atmosphere. Therefore this phenomenon is called the Greenhouse Effect. If there were no greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere, Earth could reach temperatures as low as -17 degrees Celsius, making most life uninhabitable. The role of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide This results in an average global temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for most life forms. An increase in CO2 in the atmosphere Even though the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is only 0.04%, that does not mean that this amount is not a concern for the environment. Data from Earth System Science Data found that in 1750, or about 10 years before the first industrial revolution, the world's carbon dioxide gas level was 278 ppm or 0.02 8%. Until the survey in 2022, the current amount of carbon dioxide gas was 417 ppm or 0.042%, or an increase of approximately 50%. Data from NASA found that since 1880, or the start of the Second Industrial Revolution, the world's average temperature has increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius. In addition, carbon dioxide gas can remain in the atmosphere for up to 300-1,000 years, making it a major contributor to global warming problems. Impact on the world if CO2 is higher than 0.04% Paolo Seppi, Associate Professor of Climatology Imperial College London University explains that if carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere increases from 0.04% to 0.05%, the average global temperature will increase above 1.5 degrees Celsius, which the environmental science community is concerned about. If the world temperature rises 1.5 degrees Celsius above average, when will it happen? It will cause extreme climate change problems throughout the world. And the integrity of the environment may never return to the way it was before. And if the amount of carbon dioxide gas increases three times to 0.10%, the average temperature of the world will increase by several degrees. and will harm all living things on earth. Paolo Zeppi explained that even 0.04% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a small number. It is like the salt that is in each meal. But increasing the amount of salt even just a little can cause people to suffer from high blood pressure as well. Robert Bresha, Professor of Sustainability University of Dayton Compare that to 0.04% of body weight. This is comparable to a 1.5-inch diameter tumor. Although small, it can be life-threatening. An important goal of the 2023 United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP28) is to control global average temperatures by reducing the use of fossil energy. Source: Thai News Agency
