Dear Philip I think that carbon dioxide should be treated like any other chemical species. This name has probably been in the table for longer, and we can change it to conform. My question is more about the appropriate "due to". This is a net surface flux, so it's not due to emission alone. I am wondering whether it is more obvious to describe a (net) surface flux as a surface flux, or as a tendency of atmos content. What would you usually say? The nomenclature in terms of tendency of content was adopted in order to deal with emissions both from the surface and within the volume of the atmos at once, if I remember correctly.
