Cosmic ray-induced reactions as a factor in the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere

Abstract

In this paper, we shall discuss the possibility of CO₂ removal indirectly through the lower/middle stratosphere via reactions with cosmic rays. We postulate this possibility based on a comparative analysis of the content of the cosmic ray-generated isotope ¹⁰Be in ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica and of CO₂ ^(a) in the air inclusions of an ice core from the Vostok station in Antarctica. The correlation coefficients between the ¹⁰Be and CO₂ ^(a) concentrations calculated from the available experimental data for various times over the last climatic cycle suggest a significant negative correlation between the variation of the most important greenhouse gas, CO₂ ^(a), and the indicator of cosmic-ray intensity, ¹⁰Be. -from Journal translation
