Abstract

A synoptic analysis of the history of climate science introduces all potential climate drivers. It is demonstrated that the Keeling curve can be seen to reflect yearly ocean CO2 emission minus yearly ocean CO2 uptake. It is also shown that the global carbon equation (GCE), at the foundation of present day climate models is not an equilibrium. This disequilibrium pertains to the neglect of the influence of  industrial pollutants on the seasonal behaviour of the Northern Pacific. It is also demonstrated that the errors for carbon emission and uptake on land are too important to allow for the construction of the GCE.
Statistics are used to demonstrate that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is determined by industrial pollutant emission. A significant determination coefficient between ocean behaviour and pollutants emission is interpreted as caused by ozone accumulation in the Arctic night. With the return of light, in spring, the short lived GreenHouse Gas (GHG) is envisioned to become relatively warm and self-lofting. The trajectory of this slowly ascending mixture is influenced by, and influencing the existing pressure systems. Part of its heat is incorporated in the Northern Pacific Ocean that releases its gasses. This mixture enriched with the ocean emitted gasses ascends to the stratosphere at the equator where it causes stratospheric ozone depletion, which in turn results in global warming. This new interpretation of the climate cycle through ozone accretion in  in the tropospheric arctic night and ozone depletion by ocean emitted gasses in the stratosphere of the low latitudes is substantiated by a reconstruction of the Keeling curve. This reconstruction consists of the superposition of six functions that determine the uptake and emission of CO2  by the Northern Pacific Ocean. A regression analysis between the monthly Keeling curve and present reconstruction indicates that the two are identical.
Finally, it is explained that the climate cycle in the Pleistocene represents a response system between vegetation composition and stratospheric ozone driven by natural pollutants and stemming from the Mesozoic era when flowering plants made their appearance.
The present aberrantly high atmospheric CO2 concentrations recorded at Moana Loa are interpreted as resulting from the reiteration of the natural warming phase of the Pleistocene climate cycle through industrial pollutants.
