Global warming projections

This sink, a negative climate feedback mechanism, may increase with the global-warming-intensified GWC, the increase in C02 and carbonate dust in atmosphere, reforestation/afforestation, and fertilization of the aquatic ecosystems. Using the global warming projection for the year 2100 by IPCC, it is estimated that the C02 sink by the GWC will increase by 22%, or 0.18 Pg c/a.

ABSTRACT The locations, magnitudes, variations and mechanisms responsible for the atmospheric C02 sink are uncertain and under debate. Previous studies concentrated mainly on oceans, and soil and terrestrial vegetation as sinks. Here, we show that there is an important C02 sink in carbonate dissolution, the global water cycle and photosynthetic uptake of DIC by aquatic ecosystems. The sink constitutes up to 0.82 Pg C/a 0.24 Pg C/a is delivered to oceans via rivers and 0.22 Pg C/a by meteoric precipitation, 0.12 Pg C/a is returned to the atmosphere, and 0.23 Pg C/a is stored in the continental aquatic ecosystem. The net sink could be as much as 0.70 Pg C/a, may increase with intensification of the global water cycle, increase in C02 and carbonate dust in atmosphere, reforestation/afforestation, and with fertilization of aquatic ecosystems. Under the projection of global warming for the year 2100, it is estimated that this C02 sink may increase by 22%, or about 0.18 Pg c/a. 

Most scientists do not debate whether global warming has occurred, they accept it, but the cause of the warming and future projections about the results is questioned. The proposed National Energy Policy Act of 1988,... 

It seems reasonably clear that, in our context, the EU ETS could be said to be a project of common European interest , since the Directive is a common action agreed by all the Member States to combat the common threat of global warming by endeavouring to incentivize the reduction of C02 emissions.21... 

Transportation A student-driven, chemistry-based research project focused on campus transportation issues including estimations of carbon dioxide and smog-related pollutants resulting from campus activities. The project related directly to the course discussions of global warming, smog, local air quality, and air pollution regulations framed by basic chemical concepts such as chemical composition of the atmosphere, basic chemical reactions (e.g., combustion processes and photochemical reactions), stoichiometry of...
