That's an area of active research because the estimates of individual pulses are getting better, but the estimates of how much CO2 would be released associated with an individual pulse is still of the order - of - magnitude uncertainty, which is not helpful to really talk about emission rates.»

That is low relative to the current emissions rate, but possibly a reasonable estimate once all anthropogenic emissions are included.
