Greenhouse emissions and economic recessions: Did industrial economies “stay cool” during the 1930s economic crisis?
Greenhouse emissions and economic recessions: Did industrial economies “stay cool” during the 1930s economic crisis?

Summary/Abstract: In this historical economic interdisciplinary research we investigate the impact of the 1930s economic crisis and their relationship to global warming. We investigate two consecutive hegemonic powers: the United Kingdom and the United States. Our assumption was that a reduction in demand would lead to a decrease in mean global temperatures during depressions. We find that in fact reduced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from lowered production does not result in cooling temperatures.
