There is really no underlying natural forcing that should be causing the observed warming. http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Climate_Change_Attribution.png Natural emissions are roughly in balance with natural sinks. Although this balance is imperfect on even the longest time scales, it is sufficient that the anthropogenic spike in CO2 has no precedent. http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Carbon_Dioxide_400kyr_Rev.png Thanks again to Robert Rohde for his efforts to make the facts visible! > diminished capacity > of oceans to provide sinks for our CO2 contributions to the atmosphere > which, I believe (unless atmospheric chemistry science is a fraud) will > add to the warming and trigger positive feedback of CO2 and CH4 from > melting tundra and permafrost. Now, whether and when the sinks will saturate is an important and, I think, unresolved question. Our first efforts to discuss around here seem to have been derailed a bit but maybe we can get back to it. mt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
