Do you think it could be related to the rising temperatures and how it affects the Earth's capability to sequester atmospheric
CO2 by natural processes like the photosintesis of the plants?
All plants convert atmospheric CO2 into carbon compounds (plant structure) which, if not digested by a grazing animal, will still be converted into methane and
CO2 by natural processes.
If as you note the GHE without anthropogenic inputs would be approximately 32 Deg C.; Given the amount of
CO2 by natural process would be approximately 280ppm would suggest roughly 9 ppm of GHG would increase temperatures approximately 1 Deg.
It seems that, in order to make a case for equality, Lucas needs there to be a finite world, as if, were there no such limits (to the absorption of
CO2 by natural processes), there would be no case for equality.
However, emissions and removal of
CO2 by these natural processes tend to balance.

Halifax, Nova Scotia — based Carbon Sense Solutions plans to accelerate the
natural process of cement absorbing
CO2 by exposing a fresh batch to flue gas.
Tans initially expected February to be the first month of the year above 400 ppm, but predicting that threshold is tricky because
CO2 concentrations depend both on emissions and
natural ecosystem
processes, which can be influenced
by climate phenomena like the El Nino Southern Oscillation cycle, he said.
Carbon dioxide is produced
by many
natural and industrial
processes, which currently result in
CO2 levels of 380 ppmv in the atmosphere.

If used as an average for the globe, it would represent the sum of all
CO2 added to, and removed from, the atmosphere during the year
by human activities and
by natural processes.
Right now, we pour about twice as much
CO2 into the atmospheric tub than is removed on net
by natural processes.
Here we present a means to estimate this
natural flux
by a separation of oceanic carbon anomalies into those created
by biogenic
processes and those created
by CO2 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.
Bio-SNG (Synthetic
Natural Gas) delivered via the gas grid offers
CO2 lifecycle savings of up to 90 % compared with fossil fuel alternatives, and offer sa more cost - effective solution than electricity for carbon abatement in transport applications, according to a new feasibility study published
by National Grid (UK), the North East
Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) and Centrica.
CO2 and WATER VAPOR are influenced
by the environment in other words as the oceans go so do hey despite man's contribution which is fractional when compared to
natural processes.
In that scenario it would have happened
by natural processes completely independent of the magically inert and transparent
CO2.
But it was always at a rate that could easily be accommodated
by natural feedback
processes if
CO2 levels got too high — usually in the form of increased rock weathering through an acceleration of the hydrological cycle.
On the other hand,
CO2 is removed from the air
by natural geological - scale
processes and these take a long time to work.
Effectively she appears to at least confirm the possibility of my proposition that what is going on is an entirely
natural solar induced
process (destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere
by more incoming solar protons) which casts doubt on all previous assumptions concerning human
CO2 AND CFCs.
Furthermore, the dynamics of the rise and fall indicate that the system is NOT saturated such that some of the total (
natural and anthropogenic)
CO2 emission can not be sequestered
by the
natural sequestration
processes.
All the attempts to divine the relative influences of
natural processes, land use changes, and
CO2 changes are plagued
by this and other problems.
ie, earth has warmed,
co2 a ghg, man contributes
co2, warming caused in part due to man vs
natural processes, for varying opinions of how big that part is) the activist have tried to label them otherwise, not believing earth has warmed (being ambiguous on cause), or not believeing
co2 a ghg
by never defining, the object of the consensus..
This will allow immediate leverage of the low cost of
natural gas, along with easy conversion to light oils (free of «corrosive components») generated
by cyanobacterial
processes (such as Joule Unlimited's), or methane from conversion of solar / electrolytic hydrogen and atmospheric
CO2 when either / both of those
processes become cost - competitive.
And, of course, it would be strange if
CO2, CH4, etc. exhibited different behavior if put into the atmosphere
by natural process versus being put into the atmosphere
by human emission.
Most of the
CO2 is also absorbed
by natural processes but the net amount of
CO2 is increasing and the man made percentage of the net increase was about the 28 to 30 %.
The cost for carbon sequestration with wood burial is low because
CO2 is removed from the atmosphere
by the
natural process of photosynthesis at little cost.
This new concept of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH formulated here accommodates the broad range of mechanisms involved in the anthropogenic forcing of pH in coastal ecosystems, including changes in land use, nutrient inputs, ecosystem structure and net metabolism, and emissions of gases to the atmosphere affecting the carbon system and associated pH. The new paradigm is applicable across marine systems, from open - ocean and ocean - dominated coastal systems, where OA
by anthropogenic
CO2 is the dominant mechanism of anthropogenic impacts on marine pH, to coastal ecosystems where a range of
natural and anthropogenic
processes may operate to affect pH.
The global changes (like
CO2 buildup) caused
by other organisms or
natural processes ocur on much much shorter timescales.
... AGW has a real but minor effect compared to
natural cycles and
processes and data bias
by the official climate Team, and that a bit of warming and higher
CO2 levels may turn out to be of net benefit to humanity.
This indicates that a 33 % increase in
CO2 causes the
natural removal
processes to increase
by this amount.
It is more probable that such a small ripple in the annual
natural flow of
CO2 would be caused
by natural fluctuations of geophysical
processes.
I still believe that
CO2 levels are rising largely due to human activities and that they contribute to net mean warming, though not anywhere near the amount estimated
by the official climate Team, and far less than
natural processes not under human control.
