The temperature of the earth's surface is determined by the balance between the radiation from the sun and the radiation from the earth itself.

Any doubling of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air would raise the temperature of the Earth's surface by 4°C.

The quantity of carbonic acid in the atmosphere is of fundamental importance for the temperature of the Earth's surface.

The whole of the Earth's surface would be heated by about 5° to 6° C. if the carbonic acid were increased to 2.5 to 3 times its present value.

The ocean, by its enormous mass, plays a very important part in the regulation of the temperature of the Earth.

The present state of science does not permit us to predict with certainty the future climate of the Earth.
