The remaining 9 W m − 2 forcing requires approximately 4.8 × CO2, corresponding to fossil fuel emissions as much as approximately 10,000 Gt C for a conservative assumption of a CO2 airborne fraction averaging one - third over the 1000 years following a peak emission [21,129].

For instance, using the emission factor for coal from IPCC [48], coal resources given by the Global Energy Assessment [114] amount to 7300 — 11000 Gt C. Similarly, using emission factors from IPCC [48], total recoverable fossil energy reserves and resources estimated by GEA [114] are approximately 15000 Gt C.

If we assume that fossil fuel emissions increase by 3 % per year, typical of the past decade and of the entire period since 1950, cumulative fossil fuel emissions will reach 10000 Gt C in 118 years.

Furthermore, unlike methane hydrates (see below), the very large stocks of permafrost soil carbon (i.e., the 1,672 Gt C of Tarnocai et al., 2009) must first undergo anaerobic microbial fermentation to produce methane, itself a gradual decomposition process.

Thus, the fossil fuel source required to yield a 9 W m − 2 forcing may be closer to 5000 Gt C, rather than 10000 Gt C.

For 2017, however, we project emissions growth of 2.0 % (range: 0.8 % − 3.0 %) from 2016 levels (leap - year adjusted), reaching 36.8 ± 2 Gt CO2 (10.0 ± 0.5 Gt C; Le Quéré et al 2017).

There's about 780 Gt C in the atmosphere of which about 90 Gt is exchanged with oceans pa and 120 Gt is exchanged with plants, so about a quarter of the CO2 is circulated each year.

This estimate, corresponding to 500-2500 gigatonnes carbon (Gt C), is smaller than the 5000 Gt C estimated for all other geo - organic fuel reserves but substantially larger than the ~ 230 Gt C estimated for other natural gas sources.»

The study of Orr and Sarmiento (1992) suggests that this is likely if their figure of only 0.44 Gt C yr - 1 is sequestered by macroalgal farms.

CCS is already making a small contribution to mitigation and it is possible, though far from certain, that it can be scaled up over decades to come to provide a wedge - sized contribution (i.e., 1 Gt C / yr or 3,700 Mt CO2 / yr in 50 years» time) to the emissions challenge.

Biochar from tree plantations would be the necessary next step: In theory (if Homo S «Sapiens» decides to get serious) 1 - 2 Gt C could be sequestered as char per year.

We've emitted in total about 370 Gt C. There's about 180 Gt in the air.

Every year we emit, well, now closer to 10 Gt C. Meanwhile the sea emits and absorbs about 90 Gt C / yr through seasonal changes etc, as it has, in a balanced way, for millennia.

About 200 Gt C more in the air, and, according to Doney, 370/4 = 92.5 Gt more in the sea.

The carbon balance shows that terrestrial biomass and soil nets an extra 3 Gt C per year, so only 60 - 70 % of emissions remain, ~ 6 Gt C, as ghg's and ocean acidifying H2CO3.

Values for average carbon fluxes are given in Gt C per year (normal numbers).

(3Gt CH4 = 2.3 Gt C, and 2.3 Gt C = ~.45 % of 500Gt C, the amount estimated to be around the ESAS submarine permafrost [Shakhova, 2010]-RRB-.

So 17 % of 300 Gt C is about 25 ppm higher than preanthropogenic, or about 305 ppm in the year 3000.

That imbalance is only about 2 Gt C / year.

The total biosphere including soil carbon is about 2000 Gt C, so it's not absurd to imagine growing it to 2300 Gt C.

If we divide this number by the CO2 invasion flux into the ocean of 2 Gt C / year, we get an apparent uptake time scale of 80 years.

The results of the two seem to be similar on one end of the spectrum, in that biogenic methane -LRB--60 o / oo) requires about 1000 Gt C.

They state that addition of 3000 Gt C to an atmosphere of 2000 Gt C would lead to warming of 5 degrees C, but I don't believe it unless the climate sensitivity is much higher than today.

For the PETM in particular, the temperature proxies seem to require more warming than a ~ 1 - 2000 Gt C methane spike would generate (with the climate forcing agent being the CO2, as documented by its longevity).

By 2100, the ocean uptake rate of 5 Gt C yr - 1 is balanced by the terrestrial carbon source, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations are 250 p.p.m.v. higher in our fully coupled simulation than in uncoupled carbon models2, resulting in a global - mean warming of 5.5 K, as compared to 4 K without the carbon - cycle feedback.
