Seeing this as a baseline, positive CO2 feedback from temperature changes, or a running out of capacity for greater uptake from CO2 accumulation, would be seen as adding more CO2 to the air in addition to anthropogenic releases, but it would have to surpass some level before it would result in a total atmospheric accumulation of CO2 greater than anthropogenic emissions (first, as a rate, and later, cummulative change).

If one takes as the total emissions a «natural» part (60 GtC from soils + 60 GtC from land plants) and the 7 GtC fossil emissions as anthropogenic part, the anthropogenic portion is about 5 % (7 of 127 billion tons of carbon) as cited in the Welt article.

For this reason, even a total cessation of anthropogenic emissions would result in almost no significant temperature reduction for centuries, which is why I used the term «irreversible on human timescales» to describe the effect.

Thus, two models with the same level of cumulative total anthropogenic CO2 emissions may reach different atmospheric CO2 concentrations (see Smith and Edmonds 2006).

First, the original emission rates of SO2 and H2SO4 (3 % of total anthropogenic SO2 emitted) in the model (including emissions, boundary conditions, and initial conditions) were decreased by a factor of 4 compared with the 2005 base case to be consistent with the decrease in measured ambient SO2 concentrations since 2005 (SI Appendix, section 1 and Fig.

3) Because the share of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on the total increase of CO2 content in atmosphere is minimal i.e. insignificant, only political measure can be learnig to adapt ourselves to any one of natural climate events.

The British medical journal The Lancet, known for its tobacco Prohibitionist and anti-Israel views, created a commission on Health and Climate Change to promote, as if it were science, the view that «to avoid the risk of potentially catastrophic climate change impacts requires total anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to be kept below 2900 billion tonnes by the end of the century» — not a calculation that physicians, biologists, and the like are particularly qualified to make.)

I think that even laymen can be made understand the natural law, according to which both all the CO2 sources and all the CO2 sinks together control the CO2 content in the atmosphere, and that the share of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the atmospheric CO2 content depends on how the quantity of anthropogenic CO2 emissions is in the proportion to the total CO2 emissions.

«Total anthropogenic GHG emissions have continued to increase over 1970 to 2010 with larger absolute decadal increases toward the end of this period.

Total anthropogenic GHG emissions were the highest in human history from 2000 to 2010 and reached 49 (± 4.5) GtCO2eq / yr in 2010.»

The total contribution of the AFOLU sector to anthropogenic emissions is therefore around one quarter of the global anthropogenic total.

Annual GHG flux from land use and land ‐ use change activities accounted for approximately 4.3 ─ 5.5 GtCO2eq / yr, or about 9 ─ 11 % of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, the dynamics of the rise and fall indicate that the system is NOT saturated such that some of the total (natural and anthropogenic) CO2 emission can not be sequestered by the natural sequestration processes.

Wasdell said that the draft submitted by scientists contained a metric projecting cumulative total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, on the basis of which a «carbon budget» was estimated — the quantity of carbon that could be safely emitted without breaching the 2 degrees Celsius limit to avoid dangerous global warming.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions for 1990 at 39.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, suggesting that the Nigerian emissions may have represented approximately 0.09 % of the total in terms of CO2 and 0.76 % of the total in terms of methane, using the IPCCs 100 - year global warming potential for methane of 25.

In terms of how I got the numbers, I integrated the rate of anthropogenic CO2 emission to measure the total CO2 emitted versus time, then compared it to the % change in concentration level.

I am not sure I get how you arrived at this: «During this period, anthropogenic CO2 emissions amounted to about 20 % of the total CO2 emissions» I suspect you may be forgetting that the emissions are cumulative, so even a flat blue line would go with a rising orange one.

Coby, Let's start by looking at what the data say: the emissions data, The curve indicates an total anthropogenic CO2 emissions of around 240 trillions tons.

The 90 % confidence level is estimated to be ± 0.2 W m — 2, reflecting the uncertainty in total dust emissions and burdens and the range of possible anthropogenic dust fractions.

Recognizing that the carbon cycle is very complex, so there are reasons that the simple comparison could be off (going either way of course), the chart suggests that only 20 % of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions occurred in the same period where 50 % of the total change in atmospheric CO2 concentration were observed.

Black carbon (BC) emissions from household cookstoves consuming solid fuel produce approximately 25 percent of total anthropogenic BC emissions.

As that is made well enough you can reach a very simple and easily understandable synthesis to the role of anthropogenic CO2 emissions in any total increase of CO2 content in atmosphere:

To put the necessary cap on total cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leaders also agreed on net - zero emissions; that is, there must be «a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century».1

The current fraction of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions stored in the ocean appears to be about one - third of the long - term potential.

From the formula, we can see that the carbon footprint area is essentially calculated by dividing total anthropogenic carbon emissions remaining after accounting for ocean uptake (i.e., 72 % of net human emissions) by the rate at which existing forests sequester carbon.

Article 3 of the Kyoto Protocol states targets for emissions reductions in terms of «aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A.» Using this approach, Australia's net greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors in 2004 totalled 564.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

(3) If we consider a pessimal scenario and an optimal scenario w.r.t. anthropogenic CO2 emission (measured in CO2 / year), isn't the main difference between these scenarios the amount of time it will take to release all carbon bound in fossil fuels, rather than the total amount of carbon released (e.g., we'll burn through all oil and gas in 200 years vs 100 years)?

• All C4MIP models project an increase in the airborne fraction of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions through the 21st century.

In contrast, anthropogenic emissions dominate present - day CH4 budgets, accounting for more than 60 % of the total global budget (Table 7.6).

For instance the recordbreaking yearly increase of anthropogenic CO2 emissions to atmosphere during 2010 has been 6 %; from total anthropogenic CO2 emissions of about 8 Gt a year (calculated in carbon) that 6 % makes about 0.5 Gt CO2 a year.

In addition, from this yearly increase of anthropogenic CO2 emissions stays in atmosphere only 2 % i.e. 0.01 Gt CO2 a year (the 2 % agrees with what the total yearly increase of 4 Gt CO2 in atmosphere is compared to the total yearly emissions of a little bit more than 200 Gt CO2 to atmosphere.

For a very rough comparison of such levels of CH4 emissions when emitted at a roughly constant rate over a single millenia, today's rates of anthropogenic CH4 emissions which contribute a climate forcing of 0.5 Wm ^ -2 would total 400 GtCH4 over 1,000 years, one fifth the quantity.

Because all 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenarios — except Representative Concentration Pathway 2.6 (RCP2.6), which leads to the total radiative forcing of greenhouse gases of 2.6 W m − 2 in 2100 — imply that cumulative carbon emission will exceed 1,000 Gt in the twenty - first century, our results suggest that anthropogenic interference will make the initiation of the next ice age impossible over a time period comparable to the duration of previous glacial cycles.»
