«In considering the question of
human activity and climate change it is essential to distinguish between global warming, which is a progressive increase in the annual mean global temperature, and

as a result of fossil fuel
combustion or deforestation.»

As human fuel
combustion amounts to an annual gigatonnage of CO2 emissions near double the measured rate of net CO2 rise in the atmosphere and since the net amount going into the oceans isn't enough to cover all the remainder, there is the «missing sink.»

as a consequence of
human combustion of fossil fuels at a profligate rate, the world's great reefs may survive for perhaps another century, rather than perish within the next 50 years.
