TLDR
In this article, two globally extensive forms of atmospheric pollution (carbon dioxide and particulate loading) are each considered from the viewpoint of long-term changes in their total abundance, and the impact of such changes on the equilibrium temperature of the Earth.Abstract:

Could reducing fossil fuel emissions cause global warming
TL;DR: This paper examined the sensitivity of the climate system to simultaneous changes in SO2 and CO2 emissions, as might occur if controls were imposed on fossil fuel use over the next 10-30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variations in global sea level pressure and the total mass of the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the annual cycles of sea level and surface pressures and the atmospheric pressure owing to water vapor have been analyzed in detail, and the distribution of pressure and mass as a function of latitude are also presented.

The occurrence of lead in Antarctic recent snow, firn deposited over the last two centuries and prehistoric ice
TL;DR: In this article, lead contamination of 16 to 200 pg Pb/g existed on the outside of the snow cores, but the measured concentrations decreased more or less abruptly along a radius from the outside to the centers of the cores, establishing interior values in the 1 to 5 pg PB/g range.

Claude F. Boutron,Claude Lorius +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the variations of the concentrations of 12 elements including Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and Ag in snow deposited from 1914 to 1974 at an uncontaminated site in East Antarctica are discussed in this article.

Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the surface equilibrium temperature of the atmosphere with a given distribution of relative humidity is almost twice as sensitive to change of various factors such as solar constant, CO2 content, O3 content, and cloudiness than that of the one with a fixed relative humidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of solar radiation variations on the climate of the Earth
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of long-term changes of radiation caused by variations of atmospheric transparency on the thermal regime is studied, and it is found that comparatively small variations in atmospheric transparency could be sufficient for the development of quaternary glaciations.

Climate: present, past and future
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the present, past and future of the climate in terms of past, present, and future, and present and future climate: present, future and future.
