than those connected to your anaerobic muscle fibers.

Over very long time periods such that the carbon cycle is in equilibrium with the climate, one gets a sensitivity to global temperature of about 20 ppm CO2 / deg C, or 75 ppb CH4 / deg C. On shorter timescales, the sensitivity for CO2 must be less (since there is no time for the deep ocean to come into balance), and variations over the last 1000 years or so (which are less
than 10 ppm), indicate that even if Moberg is correct, the
maximum sensitivity is around 15 ppm CO2 / deg C. CH4 reacts
faster, but even for short term excursions (such as the 8.2 kyr event) has a similar sensitivity.
