Claim: Dai Ato's paper ran multiple linear regressions for the period 1959 to 2022
100%Based on my research, I can verify this claim:
Claim Analysis:
- Dai Ato published a study in Science of Climate Change journal (Volume 4.2) titled "Sea Surface Temperature, not Humans, Rules the Atmospheric CO2-Concentration"1
- The paper explicitly states that "multiple linear regression analysis was performed using the annual changes in atmospheric CO₂ levels for each year as the objective variable" with sea surface temperature (SST) and human emissions as explanatory factors2
- The analysis period covered 1959 to 2022, as confirmed by multiple sources indicating regression equations "after 1959" with data extending to 20221
- The study states: "Annual CO₂ increase = 2.006 × HAD-SST + 1.143 (after 1959)" and "Annual CO₂ increase = 2.406 × GISS-SST + 0.953 (after 1959)"1
- The results from the period 1959 to 2022 showed "similar results" across different SST datasets1
Overall validity: 100%
