Scientists first thought this water was melting
from surface ice, but that interpretation is
less likely for the slopes near the equator, where the surface is probably too
warm for ice.
The simulations also suggest that the removal of excess carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere by natural processes on land and in the ocean will become
less efficient as the planet
warms.
The long - term

from very rapid to more modest economic growth and
from more to
