Survey report:The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide will increase by 25% during the next 25 years. This will contribute to a significant worldwide climatic increase. The CO2 and global warming trends will be reinforced by continued deforestration in the tropics. These phenomena are a common concern of industrial countries producing CO2 and aerosols from combustion of fossil fuels, and agricultural countries contributing dust from arid lands and CO2 from wood-burning. Worldwide monitoring of the changes must be improved. Ground stations in remote locations should measure CO2 and particulate concentrations. Remote sensing should be used to measure deforestation and reflectivity. (9 references)
