They need to know: what a GHG is and how the GHE works; the carbon cycle; how climate has changed over the entire geologic history of the planet; how the climate has changed recently (relatively speaking); the main variables of climate like temperature, rainfall, etc.; the role of the sun, atmosphere and oceans on climate.

ON another note I would like to state that CO2 is not a toxic gas, it is vital for the carbon based life cycle on Earth.

If the CO2 rise is a carbon cycle feedback, this is still perfectly compatible with its role as a radiative agent and can thus «trigger» the traditional feedbacks that determine sensitivity (like water vapor, lapse rate, etc).

Metaphors that use blankets to explaining how the greenhouse effect works, income and spending in your bank account to stand in for the carbon cycle, what the wobbles in the Earth's orbit look like if the planet was your head, or conceptualizing the geologic timescale by compressing it to a day, for instance, all serve useful pedagogic roles.

«This graph gives you an idea of what the Anthropocene climate looks like as... without even taking into account the possibility of carbon cycle feedbacks leading to a release of stored terrestrial carbon.»

Some of ag's CO2 is emitted directly by feedlots, farm equipment, and related transportation activities; some (such as unwanted leaves, stems and the like) is recycled into the soil but still remains in the active carbon cycle; some (probably a small fraction) is transpired or excreted by humans and our commensals.

Furthermore, the natural carbon cycle is so much greater than the human emissions and there are so many parallel processes working at the same time, that «finding» the «missing» CO2 is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Like all such research, the study offers a measure of how little we know of the mechanics of life, atmosphere, ocean and rock − and, in particular, the carbon cycle.

It also depends on other factors like emissions / concentrations and e.g. carbon cycle feedback.

Expecting less than 5 % of Earths surface to filter the air mass from the other 95 % given actual air circulation patterns is patently absurd compared to natural CO2 scrubbing mechanisms like the biological carbon cycles, or Henry's law (which is leading to ocean acidification.

Now, as an important aside, it is quite doubtful one could actually stabilize at 750 ppm, since work by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Hadley Center suggest that carbon cycle feedbacks, like the defrosting of the tundra or the die - back of the Amazon rain forest, would release greenhouse gas emissions that would take the planet to much higher levels.

The findings could alter the way scientists think about global nutrient cycles like carbon, phosphate, and oxygen, or even currents themselves.

And of course my favorite non-BRICS, as it has a very USA - like economy in miniature (except a stable, growing economy and well - managed low - corporate - tax haven that uses direct democracy to decide tax issues) with a carbon cycle pricing scheme that could become a model for a made - in - America policy that puts revenues from carbon - emission - pricing in the pockets of the owners of the carbon cycle — the citizens, directly, British Columbia.

H2O is a finate resource and cycles in many forms like carbon.

Once in the cycle it acts just like all of the other carbon in the cycle, gets mixed in and cycled around.

Over time, the cycle of charring biomass and growing new biomass can act like a big global carbon vacuum.

In the short - term cycle, carbon in the atmosphere is turned into plant material by photosynthesis, then returned to the atmosphere by processes like animal digestion.

In the long - term cycle, carbon from plants and animals is buried and decays gradually into compounds like oil and coal.

Physical modeling of many factors like cloud, or carbon cycle, or solar cycles, continue to be unsolved, and limit the skill of predictions.

However, this is all in equilibrium with the air and the entire freaking carbon cycle, just like you explained.

This stock / (yearly absorption) analysis avoids all the pitfalls of the assumed equilibrium between absorption and out - gassing that is postulated by all the compartment models with constant inputs and outputs that lead to a set of linear equation and by Laplace transform to expressions like the Bern or Hamburg formulas; there is no equilibrium because as said more CO2 implies more green plants eating more and so on; the references in note 19 show even James Hansen and Francey (figure 17 F) admits (now) that their carbon cycle is wrong!

Marine microorganisms play a major role in cycling elements like carbon and nitrogen throughout the environment.

It may address a more narrow issue like ocean acidification or the carbon cycle.

Looks like a lot more is known about the carbon cycle than is widely thought on this thread.

When we see massive spikes in temperatures and carbon emissions like we do today, we can say that there's something more at work than a natural cycle.

Through the Anthropocene lens, the daily workings of the energy grid, transportation, industry and commerce inexorably deteriorate global biogeochemical systems like the carbon, phosphorous and water cycles.

The overall net emission over this period = + 0.5 units yet we can see how anthropogenic and sea (e.g. warming) contribute equally to this figure while net natural emission (i.e. sea + land) is — 0.5 Do we really know enough about the carbon cycle, in particular the natural fluxes of CO2, to rule out that some thing like this is going on?

It is intellectually dishonest to devote several pages to cherry - picking studies that disagree with the IPCC consensus on net health effects because you don't like its scientific conclusion, while then devoting several pages to hiding behind [a misstatement of] the U.N. consensus on sea level rise because you know a lot reasonable people think the U.N. wildly underestimated the upper end of the range and you want to attack Al Gore for worrying about 20 - foot sea level rise.On this blog, I have tried to be clear what I believe with my earlier three - part series: Since sea level, arctic ice, and most other climate change indicators have been changing faster than most IPCC models projected and since the IPCC neglects key amplifying carbon cycle feedbacks, the IPCC reports almost certainly underestimate future climate impacts.

There are lots of illustrations of the carbon cycle, most of them, like this one from GLOBE, with too much detail.

The sea temperature and carbon dioxide present a systematic variation [see figure given below] with the time like Sunspot cycle see my book «Climate change: Myths & Realities» (I - 2008 & II - 2010).

I don't think it could double the human impact, releasing as much carbon as we do, or else the natural world would be «tippier» than it is observed to be, with the occasional meltdown like the PETM but not meltdowns all the time, like models do if you set them up with a carbon cycle feedback that is too strong or acts too quickly.
