Is the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions increasing?

[1] Several recent studies have highlighted the possibility that the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems have started loosing part of their ability to sequester a large proportion of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This is an important claim, because so far only about 40% of those emissions have stayed in the atmosphere, which has prevented additional climate change. This study re-examines the a...

The millennial atmospheric lifetime of anthropogenic CO2

The notion is pervasive in the climate science community and in the public at large that the climate impacts of fossil fuel CO2 release will only persist for a few centuries. This conclusion has no basis in theory or models of the atmosphere/ocean carbon cycle, which we review here. The largest fraction of the CO2 recovery will take place on time scales of centuries, as CO2 invades the ocean, b...

Forest Sensitivity to Elevated Atmospheric CO2 and its Relevance to Carbon Management

Experimental research investigating the responses of forest trees to rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 has for the past two decades been justified on the basis of the prominent role of forests in the global carbon cycle. The C cycle regulates the airborne fraction of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion, and, therefore, the rate of increase of CO2 in the atmosphere and the associated effects ...

Nonlinearity of Land Carbon Sensitivities in Climate Change Simulations

In the climate-carbon cycle system, the terrestrial ecosystem feedback is significant. In studies on feedback analysis, the ecosystem feedback is divided into the sensitivity of carbon storage to atmospheric CO2 concentration (bL), and temperature change (gL). Although ecosystems include many nonlinear processes, the scenarioand time-dependency of bL and gL have not been explicitly discussed. T...

Future changes in climate, ocean circulation, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycling simulated for a business-as-usual CO2 emission scenario until year 4000 AD

[1] A new model of global climate, ocean circulation, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycling, including a fully coupled carbon cycle, is presented and evaluated. The model is consistent with multiple observational data sets from the past 50 years as well as with the observed warming of global surface air and sea temperatures during the last 150 years. It is applied to a simulation of the coming...
