Challenging the Chemistry of Climate Change by Bruce Peachey, Nobuo Maeda

“…Several areas of climate science have been identified that chemists can investigate through methods that do not require a supercomputer or a climate model for investigation, most notably the following: (1) The carbon cycle, which still needs to be balanced, as many known streams, such as carbon to landfills, carbon in human-enhanced sewage and land runoff streams, and carbon stored in homes and other material, do not seem to have been accounted for in carbon balances used by the IPCC. (2) Ocean chemistry and balances are required to explain the causes of regional and local-scale salinity, pH, and anoxic conditions vs. global changes. …”
