We consider these two terms to be
upper bounds because, as with infiltration from reservoirs, a new steady state will be achieved after a period of years, with no further change in storage.

Only 10 elements will have these new intervals,
because the others have at most only one stable isotope or
because upper and lower
bounds have not been quantified.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I think it's very likely that if $ 9.99 becomes the

upper bound of 300 W / m ² and doesn't equal it
because L1 also takes a portion of DLR.
We may very well develop an attribution solution that puts a strongly defensible
upper bound (or lower
bound) on the effects of CO2 increases in the future, only we don't know it yet
because we do not know the future yet.
Optimistically, we might think this
upper bound is a substantial overestimate
because AOS models are evolving and improving.
If CO2 causes more heat input, it does not matter
because more Arctic Sea Ice will melt and cause more snow to limit the
upper bound for Earth Temperature.
I could believe that 10 % of GDP is an
upper bound even in this case,
because achieving carbon neutrality basically requires a big change to infrastructure but one that only has to be performed once (though it may take years to complete).
