There is a widespread assumption that changes in reported anthropogenic global CO2 emissions are indicative of changes in climate and ocean chemistry. However, examination of atmospheric CO2 measurements from the past two decades challenges this idea. A new study develops and advocates use of CO2 measurement practices that reduce uncertainty in atmospheric verification of emissions, and identifies modelling inadequacies.
