It notes that scientists use indirect measurements, like Antarctic ice cores, to study historical climate data. The Industrial Revolution significantly increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel use. Additionally, it highlights key temperature anomalies over the last 2000 years, such as the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age, which have led to various climatic impacts.

It highlights the role of light energy in producing ATP and NADPH for CO2 reduction. The Calvin cycle, named after Melvin Calvin, details the reactions where CO2 combines with ribulose bisphosphate to form glucose. Calvin's use of radioactive carbon traced the rapid synthesis of glucose and other molecules in algae during photosynthesis.

(The geological interval from 66 million years ago to now is called the Cenozoic Era and consists of 3 periods: the Paleogene until 23 MYA, the Neogene until 2.6 MYA, and the Quaternary.) A group, the Cenozoic Carbon Dioxide Proxy Integration Project (CenCO2PIP) Consortium, reviewed and reevaluated all "proxy" measurements used to determine past cli…
