  1. “No Country is Immune from the Effects of Increased Greenhouse Gases” M. T. Chahine Credit: Edward T. Olsen, Luke Chen, Thomas S Pagano (JPL), Xun Jiang (U. Houston) and Yuk L. Yung (Caltech Campus) The JPL Green Club Von Karman Auditorium October 24, 2009

  2. “No Country is Immune from the Effects of Increased Greenhouse Gases” July 2003

  3. Net Anthropogenic Forcing is Positive The Total net anthrpogenic effect is more than doubled by the feedback from water vapor. Water vapor is the most potent greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere

  4. 7 Years of AIRS Mid- Tropospheric Climate Data AIRS Greenhouse Gases CH4 H2O CO2 Other AIRS Atmospheric Climate Products Temperature Clouds CO O3 Atmospheric Infrared Sounder on the NASA Aqua Mission (9/2002-Present)

  5. Spacecraft Remote Sensing Continues Historic CO2 Monitoring Comparison with AIRS data are Global:  30º lat. Charles Keeling Larrabee Strow [U. Maryland] Mauna Loa CO2 from 1958 to 2000: (CO2)  380ppm - 310ppm = 70ppm Mean = 1.7 ppm/yr. Recent = 2 ppm/yr AIRS on AQUA spacecraft Since May 2002 Mauna Loa Observatory 5
