Abstract

An econometric analysis is provided of the system of relationships involving global CO2 emissions, atmospheric concentration of anthropogenic CO2, and global surface temperature increase since the preindustrial era. A key finding is that global surface temperature increase is estimated to have a positive effect on the CO2 absorption capacity of the environment.
