5、t is associated with both natural factors and human activities.It is an environmental issue,but also,and more importantly,a development issue,as it is closely connected with the development stage,way of life,size of population and resource endowment of different countries and their places in the int

11、 year-to-year increase of atmospheric CO2.,The two primary sources of CO2 emissions are from burning coal used for electricity generation and petroleum used for motor transport.,Measurements from Antarctic ice cores show that before industrial emissions started atmospheric CO2 mole fractions were ab
12、out 280 parts per million(ppm),and stayed between 260 and 280 during the preceding ten thousand years.Carbon dioxide mole fractions in the atmosphere have gone up by approximately 35 percent since the 1900s,rising from 280 parts per million by volume to 387 parts per million in 2009.One study using
13、evidence from stomata of fossilized leaves suggests greater variability,with carbon dioxide mole fractions above 300 ppm during the period seven to ten thousand years ago,though others have argued that these findings more likely reflect calibration or contamination problems rather than actual CO2 va
14、riability.Because of the way air is trapped in ice(pores in the ice close off slowly to form bubbles deep within the firm)and the time period represented in each ice sample analyzed,these figures represent averages of atmospheric concentrations of up to a few centuries rather than annual or decadal
15、levels.,Notes,Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution,the concentrations of most of the greenhouse gases have increased.For example,the mole fraction of carbon dioxide has increased by about 36%to 380 ppm,or 100 ppm over modern pre-industrial levels.The first 50 ppm increase took place in a
16、bout 200 years,from the start of the Industrial Revolution to around 1973;however the next 50 ppm increase took place in about 33 years,from 1973 to 2006.,Recent data also shows that the concentration is increasing at a higher rate.In the 1960s,the average annual increase was only 37%of what it was
