Each effect is given in terms of its impact on
the mean airborne fraction over the simulation period (typically 1860 to 2100), with bars showing the uncertainty range based on the ranges of effective sensitivity parameters given in Tables 7.4 and 7.5.
Sherlock matty; ok, if Ferdinand only
means the last 160 years nature has been a net sink and there has been natural variation before I'll go with that but he still has 2 dominant unknowns in natural emissions and sinks; you can't deduce them from the increase or human emissions; and I may have missed his attitude towards Knorr which shows the
airborne fraction of ACO2 constant; I must confess I have had my ups and downs with interpreting Knorr but I still think it shows that natural CO2, not ACO2, is contributing the bulk of the increase in CO2.
The increase in the
airborne fraction as temperatures increase is by no
means an established fact; if anything the historical record says the
airborne fraction is stable or declining very slightly.
