The Green Files > Climate Change Fraud - New Scientific Study: CO2 Absorption Into ...
[Home] The results run contrary to a significant body of recent research which expects that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans to absorb CO2 should start to diminish as CO2 emissions increase, letting greenhouse gas levels skyrocket. Dr Wolfgang Knorr at the University of Bristol found that in fact the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has only been 0.7 ± 1.4% per decade, which is essentially zero.

You either dont know or dont mention that the IPCC also notes that the models show “”¦ the mean tendency towards an increasing airborne fraction through the 21st century, which is common to all models.” (IPCC FAR Figure 7.13) The IPCC also notes that “All C4MIP models project an increase in the airborne fraction of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions through the 21st century,” and “Climate change alone will tend to suppress both land and ocean carbon uptake, increasing the fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions that remain airborne and producing a positive feedback to climate change.” (Ibid p.

This is an important claim, because so far only about 40 percent of those emissions have stayed in the atmosphere, which has prevented additional climate change.

[JoNova] Is there any evidence? « JoNova: Multiple independent methods for reconstructing ancient levels of atmospheric CO2 have been developed over the past two decades: these include the distribution of stomatal pores in fossil leaves, the _13C of carbonate minerals from fossil soils, the _13C of marine phytoplankton, and the _11B of marine carbonate (3). Records of paleo-CO2 from these methods as well as calculations of CO2 from geochemical models (4) generally correlate well with independent records of temperature.
