-
Radioactive material (uranium and the decay products of uranium, such as thorium, radium, and radon)
-

Calculations :
By comparing the both figure 2 & 3
The difference in temp = 1.4o C
By comparing the both figure 2 & 3
The difference in CO2 concentration = 98 ppm
The other added gas are not much compared with the volume of CO2 already in the atmosphere and the CO2 released from the burning of coal in the year increasing the level by scarcely a thousandth part. But the additions might matter if they continued long enough. By recent calculations, the total amount of carbon laid up in coal and other fossil deposits that humanity can readily get at and burn is some ten times greater than the total amount in the atmosphere. So the next CO2 change is an increase. The temperatures and CO2 concentrations have been correlated but we know for sure that the temperature was the cause
from the figure it s clear that largest temp diff is = -8.67 oC
iii) Slop of the line = [0-(- 9.1)] /(55-219) = 0.0555 deg/ W/m2
E = 212 W/m2 for temp diff = -8.67 oC
iv) Ratio = Energy at -8.67 oC / Energy at 0 oC
= 212/55 *100 = 385.45 %

Human activities is adding CO2 to the atmosphere at a rate roughly comparable to the natural geochemical processes that emitted or absorbed the gas. By recent calculations, the total amount of carbon laid up in coal and other fossil deposits that humanity can readily get at and burn is some ten times greater than the total amount in the atmosphere. So the next CO2 change is an increase. Which will increase the Energy reflected from the surface of earth and Energy is somehow related with Temperatures, which lead to increase the atmosphere temp due to green house effect.
i) After Replacing Solar Costant from 1367 à 1365 we got the resulting
temp diff = -0.1 oC
ii) CO2 change is an increase. Which will increase the Energy reflected from the surface of earth and Energy is somehow related with Temperatures, which lead to increase the atmosphere temp due to green house effect. By recent calculations, the total amount of carbon laid up in coal and other fossil deposits that humanity can readily get at and burn is some ten times greater than the total amount in the atmosphere.
iii) Calculation done on Spreadsheet for all Steps 1,2,3 & 4 as well overall changes in %
v) From the calculations it is clear that over 30 years over all Solar Irradiance has volatile during year and over all decreasing trends reached to 1365 W/m2 in 2010
And the variation in solar constant is more or less having same trend as Solar Irradiance and hence we can say that they are directly related to each other
Station: Toronto, ON, Canada , Latitude: 43.7°, Longitude: -79.4° , Altitude: 112.5 m
Average Temp of Toronto :
= (-4.2 -3.2 +1.3 +7.6+14.2 +19.2 + 22.2 + 21.3 +17 +10.6+4.8 -0.9)/12
= 9.16 oC
Coldest Avg Temp = -4.2 oC
Hottest Avg Temp: = 22.2 oC
Hence Whether of Toronto is (Continental/microthermal/ Hot Summer Continental climates ) (Dfa Climate)
Cause climates have an average temperature above 22 °C (50 °F) in their hotest months. Coldest month average came around −3 °C
ii) Agv Year Temp = 2+ 9.16 = 11.16oC
Coldest Avg Temp = 2 -4.2 = -2.2 oC
Hottest Avg Temp: = 2+22.2 = 24.2 ( >22) oC
Hence Whether of Toronto Remain (Continental/microthermal/ Hot Summer Continental climates ) (Dfa Climate) with increase in avg month temperature by 2oC in every month
