The next decade should see Europe cutting their CO2 emissions with nat gas replacing coal, just as in US oover past decade. http://earlywarn.blogspot.com/2010/10/future-of-drought-series.htmlbuck smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094560529802986841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-42544389750041477902019-02-17T16:06:01.485-08:002019-02-17T16:06:01.485-08:00I guess that one of the reasons for the global cli...I guess that one of the reasons for the global climate sink to continue to behave in a predictable linear way is that most plants grow faster in an atmosphere 410 ppm CO2 rather than 280 ppm.<br />Lars-Eric Bjerkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151193682666245673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-84030413535332844212018-11-22T11:04:30.802-08:002018-11-22T11:04:30.802-08:00Nice analysis Stuart.

It's great to see you posting again now and then. <br /><br />An interesting aspect of the carbon sequestration plot is the wild swings from year to year, which must be mostly due to weather variations in the northern hemisphere, since that's where most plant life resides. (It's hard to see how the ocean's uptake of CO2 could vary much from year to year, but I suppose it might since there clearly are fluctuations in other oceanic parameters such has temperature and sea level rise.) In any event, our getting a better handle on what drives the variation in terrestrial CO2 uptake might shed light on ways to improve the efficiency of this sink. <br /><br />Mike AucottMike Aucotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692592170835103639noreply@blogger.com
