It's not a question of criticism and no hurt feelings were intended. I am responding to the topic it raises with a comment that the study (which is well designed and executed) does not address what I believe is the major irreducible uncertainty associated with long-term sequestration. I don't want to criticize the paper, I want to hear about how to reduce that uncertainty. I think it is hard to characterize 37 days as anything more than a minimal start on a huge problem. ᐧ
