Are you saying it's erupting all the time and so it's throwing the readings off?

That would be predicated on believing Keeling was an idiot or liar part of a warmazombie conspiracy going back to the 1950s:

And of course the running theme of no data is ever useable.

I'm not saying that Mauna Loa is erupting all the time, but there is a lot of volcanic activity in that whole area. A lot of gas is vented daily though, and just the on the islands either. If you look at the Hawaiian islands from a different perspective, the volcanoes, you'll get a different story, from the climatology perspective. It's one of those one-sided things that make me skeptical, and there are a lot.

"The trend in CO2 at Mauna Loa is practically identical to the global trend because CO2 mixes well throughout the atmosphere. The global trend is calculated from hundreds of CO2 measuring stations and is consistent with independently measurements from satellites."

Lie. i just have higher standards for data than you do. Much higher. See the Data Mine.

The air is not undisturbed at Mauna Loa. It is not remote either. It is surrounded by human activity all along the coast just a short distance away. Vegetation is extensive on the island too. There's even a plant that only grows on the mounts of Hawaii, called a Silversword.

Putting a CO2 monitoring station on top of an active volcanic range is stupid.

Argument from randU fallacy. There are not that many stations capable of monitoring CO2. NOAA operates three, Mauna Loa, Scripps Institute and one in Maine.
tmiddles wrote:

Satellites cannot measure absolute values of CO2. Under the best of conditions, they can see relative differences of CO2, but that's all. They are also affected by cloud cover since liquid water absorbs the same frequencies of light the satellite is using to measure CO2.

That puts the problem on your end. I don't know how far you got in school but I can assure you that if you ever tried blaming your professor for your data/support/assignment being chit, it wouldn't work well for you.

Only a dumbass would blame others for not understanding basic data requirements. Only a dumbass would expect others to just believe everything on the internet and then blame them when they don't.

See the example below of tmiddles still not providing a repeatable example of thermal energy flowing from a colder body to a warmer body. See how tmiddles doesn't even grasp what "repeatable" means.

To determine k, note that solubility of CO2 at 1atm and 15degC is .045mol/liter.
.045mol/L=kx1atm
K=.045mol/(L-atm)

Partial pressure of 400ppmv CO2 in the atmosphere is its molar fraction times 1atm.

c=.045x.0006=2.7x10^-5 molsCO2/LiterH2O at 15degC

Water on earth= 1.386x10^18L
This converts to 75x10^7 tons CO2 dissolved in water when CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is 400ppmv

Yearly CO2 emmision from fossil fuel is 6ppmv.

Wanted to find how much of yearly production of 6.4ppmv CO2 from fossil fuel wound up in the ocean. Requires some more thought.


Some more thought.

c=kq Henry's law
q=molar fraction=weight fraction of CO2 in atmosphere.
dc=dq
dq=(1-f)dw
dw=weight fraction of CO2 added in one year by burning fossil fuel.
f=fraction of dw going into solution in ocean.

dc=fdwW/v
W=weight of atmosphere, mold
V=volume of ocean, liters

fdwW/V=k(1-f)dw
Solving for f gives

f=k/[(W/V)+k]
k=.045 mol/L-Atm
W=1.8x10^20 mol*
V=1.386x10^6 Liters
f=.00035

So of the 6.4ppmv CO2 from fossil fuel yearly, no significant portion is dissolved in the ocean. This doesn't mean that what is dissolved doesn't significantly increase ph. I haven't been able to find how ph varies with CO2 concentration.

*5.75x10^15 tons of atmosphere.
29gms/mol of atmosphere.
1gm/1.102x10^-6 tons

EDiT


I copied above from post "Ocean ph" because it addresses question raised earlier:
Measured yearly increase in CO2 is 2ppmv
Increase due to combustion of fossil fuel is 6.4ppmv
What accounts for the difference? It isn't the ocean.

Did you factor in plant growth? Harvey had that good question.

From other thread:

Wow this is really interesting! I had no idea
co2-is-making-earth-greener

In the last 35 year's "The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States."
Natural feedback loop.

I don't think food crops are most plants though.
