Abstract
Doubling the atmospheric carbon dioxide content by burning fossil fuels and by vegetation destruction may lead to an increase in atmospheric temperature of 1.5 to 3/sup 0/C. Permissible global warming seems to be 2/sup 0/C at most, according to present knowledge from climatic history, of which 1/sup 0/C should be reserved for warming mechanisms other than carbon dioxide. Hence anthropogenic rise of the atmospheric carbon dioxide content should not exceed 50% of the original level. Taking into account the carbon dioxide release from vegetation destruction and from noncommercial fuels, the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide production is higher than previously estimated. World ocean's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide must be equally higher, thus providing a relatively ample margin for utilizing fossil fuels in the future even if climatic risks are carefully avoided.
