Abstract: Studies of the temperature anomalies during the last 27 years show a close relationship with the varying increase of CO 2 in the atmosphere. Volcanic eruptions and La Niñas reduce CO 2 values and El Niños increase them. This close relationship strongly indicates that ocean temperatures and the solubility of CO 2 in seawater control the amount of CO 2 being absorbed or released by the oceans. It is therefore likely that the increased CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere is due to a natural global warming and that CO 2 produced through fossil fuel combustion by humans can not disrupt this balance. An advanced statistical multiregression analysis confirms this conclusion. Therefore it is likely that there is no anthropogenic climate change on a global scale. The natural exchange of CO 2 between ocean, biomass on land and the atmosphere is very large. In only four to five years all the CO 2 in the atmosphere has been recycled through the oceans and the biomass system. The annual anthropogenic human production of CO 2 is neutralized by nature in as little as 12 days. Recent studies of the solar forcing, changes in cosmic radiation and its role in cloud formations explain the global warming that has taken place since 1910.
