However, this in itself is not enough to define what level of warming is «dangerous,» especially since the projections of actual impacts for any level of warming are highly uncertain, and depend on further factors such as how quickly these levels are reached (so how long ecosystems and society have had to respond), and what other changes are associated with them (eg: carbon dioxide concentration, since this affects plant photosynthesis and water use efficiency, and ocean acidification).

I don't know if it actually causes fish to disintegrate, but up until last year when the ocean acidification evidence came out, I would have agreed that CO2, which plants need, was not a pollutant in the same way SO2 & N0x (+ sulfuric & nitric acids) and other pollutants are.

First of all, they do * nothing * about the other effects of CO2 (ocean acidification, physiological impacts on plants around the world).

the «other factors» are internal — aka the oil and coolant in a machine — and have to do with the «other» phases of water — you know... that big wet thing called our planet's oceans, and ICE and CLOUDS, and soil moisture and plant moisture, etc etc etc.....

The coralline sponges also indicate that your formula doesn't hold for the period after 1940, as increased plant uptake + increased deep ocean release of CO2 (the only other fast source of huge quantities of CO2) both should increase the d13C level of the atmosphere and the upper ocean waters.

Instead, ocean life absorbs CO2 during photosynthesis and, while most of the gas escapes within about a year, some of it is transported down into the deep ocean via dead plants, body parts, faeces, and other sinking materials.

That's bad news for the climate, because the ocean is responsible for absorbing at least one quarter of the CO2 that humans load into the air through fossil fuel burning and other activities — and it is the action of foraminifera and other tiny shell - building animals, along with plants like algae that lock it away safely for millennia.

Several researchers have pointed to various other indicators as evidence of «global warming», e.g., Arctic sea ice records, ocean heat content measurements, or animal and plant migration patterns.However, all of these indicators are either too short to compare recent temperatures to temperatures before the 1950s, or else are affected by non-climatic biases.

Of this roughly half is absorbed by the biosphere (oceans, plants, soils, etc.) and the other half «remains» in the atmosphere.

Interestingly enough, if you correct that first graph in this post for seasonal effects (you know, plants growing in the spring, dying off in the fall), and the fact that about half (by mass balance) of our emissions are absorbed by ocean and plant sinks, those two lines will track each other very well.

But other elements could potentially also contribute to a collapse: an accelerating extinction of animal and plant populations and species, which could lead to a loss of ecosystem services essential for human survival; land degradation and land - use change; a pole - to - pole spread of toxic compounds; ocean acidification and eutrophication (dead zones); worsening of some aspects of the epidemiological environment (factors that make human populations susceptible to infectious diseases); depletion of increasingly scarce resources [6,7], including especially groundwater, which is being overexploited in many key agricultural areas [8]; and resource wars [9].

In addition to rising temperatures, the report discussed a variety of «other possible effects of an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide», including melting of the Antarctic ice cap, rise of sea level, warming of sea water, increased acidity of fresh waters (which also applies to the danger of ocean acidification, global warming's evil twin), and an increase in plant photosynthesis.

Different half lives: the 5 year calculated from the bomb spike is about how fast 14C (natural or not) disappears out of the atmosphere, but is not destroyed: it simply is gone into other reservoirs (oceans and plants) and / or replaced by stable carbon (12C and 13C) from the other reservoirs.
