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

Wow interesting stuff!!!

Who is John Galt?
You got me there. I hope it’s not a copyright violation to use that name as my moniker. I don’t like hiding behind an alias, but frankly I’d like to not be stalked by some lunatic because I don’t agree with their pet theory.

Mr. Galt,
I just couldn’t avoid the tease and the double (triple?) meaning. It’s been years since I read that book but that question can still give me goosebumps.

– According to Becks assembly of data, after the warm period in the 1940´ies we saw a huge fast drop in CO2 after declining temperatures.

A drop so enorm that his findings have been ignorred by AGW simply because RESULTS does not match the human view of things. (certainly d not adabt knowledge to results!)
Francois Ouellette in this blog wrote a very interesting text, describing how the CO2 increase certainly leads to explosion in plant (and plankton) growth.
Here in this very fine article

we find tha sahel is MASSIVELY getting smaller. Take a look at the graphic!
So!
As Francois Ouellette writes warm periods builds up a larger CO2 sink.
Return to Becks data. We see here a rather smooth curve of CO2 rise from year 1900 up to around 1930 and then quite speedy raise in the 1940´ies.
But just after 1945-50 it just free-falls so fast that data was ignored.
This is just to say: If Becks data is correct… And if the world is cooling like in after the 1940… oh dear! This CO2 fall is going to be interesting.
But thats a lot of “ifs” i know. Just speculating 🙂

And if is really an anthropogenic cause for this small decline ?
Take a look on this chart:

Global growth in decline ? Look at oil prices that continued to fall. Today fell $5/barrel with a Tropical Storm in the Gulf of Mexico running to Texas which is something very weird on oil markets.

That explains it! With no bloviating going on in Foggy Bottom, the CO2 level has naturally dropped!

Mr James (09:26:23) made a point I have wanted to make for weeks but felt it would expose my ignorance:
“The proliferation of undefined acronyms and other references can make for pretty tough going.”
Although I am very grateful for Mr James’s comment, I have to observe that a collection of initial letters is only an acronym if it forms a word or is pronounced as a word (such as NASA), if it is a collection of letters pronounced as letters (such as IPCC) it is an initialism not an acronym. Some dispute that even NASA is an acronym because it is not a recognised word in itself (compare The Man from UNCLE); but usage seems to be changing such that it is sufficient to pronounce it as a word in order for a collection of initials to be classified an acronym; this change is probably due to some initalisms (such as scuba and radar) describe objects or processes which do not have an existing single-word description.
What would you scientific chaps do without a pedant like me to keep you on your toes?
