Mauna Loa CO2 January to July trend goes negative first time in history

We have:
1. Measured lower ocean temps,
2. stagnating sea level rise,
3. sudden global atmospheric temperature drop,
4. stagnating CO2 levels.
These are 4 major metrics that are going AGAINST model predictions. Over the last few months, Anthony and others have been publicizing data that clearly indicate the probable start of a climate trend reversal.
Concerning ocean cooling and stagnant sea level, this has to translate into an increase in the earth’s rotational speed.
Is there daily data available on the earth’s rotational speed?
Lastly, where are the media on this historic event?
Think of the implications of sinking CO2 levels!

“Basically, it agrees with chemistry 101, that cold water can hold more gases than warm water. The La Nina of the past several months that has sent global temperatures downwards looks like the cause here.” Walter Dnes
If the cooler Pacific is absorbing more CO2 might not this cause further cooling i.e. a positive feedback in the direction of cooling? If so, shouldn’t we make sure we have a surplus of CO2 in the atmosphere to prevent runaway cooling?

Expect some revisionism “adjustment” of the data.

OK, but this July is still higher than last July:

However, the rate of increase is lower than it has been for a while:

Al Gore’s local utility recognized him as the worlds largest emitter of CO2 and cut him off

There is no equivalent drop in the global data, which suggests that this is a short term local variation due to La Nina (Mauna Loa being in the Pacific), so it is no big deal AFAICS.
The theory says that CO2 solubility depends on ocean temperatures, so it would be odd if ENSO has no effect on the Mauna Loa data. However, IIRC the exchange is also governed by differences in partial pressure, so the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the more is taken up by the oceans.
Ferdinand Englebean’s mass balance argument shows that man is responsible for the long term increase in atmoshperic CO2, natural variation, especially ENSO has a only a modulating effect.
I don’t see any reason to make a big deal out of any of this, it is a local effect not replicated in the global data, and the dataset is only 50 years old, so the fact that it is the first observation of this type doens’t mean it is *that* unusual. It looks to me that this is also the six month trend most likely to vary between positive and negative as it coincides with the steepest point of the annual cycle.

Can we see similar results in Alaska and South Pole yet?

It’s happening again. A perfectly good theory is getting ruined by facts.

Higher than last July by less than one part per million. I know you were “just sayin”, but so am I. At that rate, doubling would occur when, exactly? Oh yeah, in four hundred years or so. Not that I am one of those mindless Gorebot extrapolators, like I said, I am just saying.
It could have to do with the record sea ice extent in Antarctica. Models show that as sea ice increases, the southern ocean cools, lowering atmospheric CO2, and it the world of the warmies, this is one way ice ages get tripped. So it may well be, as Ruddiman(sp?) says, that we are dodging an ice age right now with our high CO2 levels.

By the way, the global view of CO2 distribution backs up that the southern ocean might be absorbing now.
