Carbonation and Acidification of the Backyard Waters of Taiwan under Rising Atmospheric CO2
Dr. George T. F. Wong
(Distinguished Research Fellow and Vice Director,
Research Center for Environmental Changes)
While there have been fluctuations in the concentration of atmospheric CO2 through out geologic time, its rate of increase since the advent of the industrial revolution in about 1750 has been much accelerated. Thus, in the pre-industrial time between 1000 and 1750, the concentration of atmospheric CO2 varied only within a narrow range of 275 to 285 ppm, and without a definitive systematic increasing trend.
