 | Impacts of Climate-carbon Cycle Feedbacks on Emission Scenarios to Achieve Stabi |
 by Chris Jones
At present, approximately half of anthropogenic CO2
emissions are absorbed by the land and oceans [Jones and Cox, 2005], but climate changes may act to reduce this
uptake, leading to higher CO2 levels for a given emission scenario [Cox et al., 2000, Friedlingstein et al., 2005, in prep.]. Less attention has been
paid to the potential impact of carbon cycle feedbacks on the emissions
reductions required to achieve stabilisation (the so called “permissible
emissions”), although this is arguably more pertinent to the issue of avoiding
dangerous climate change in the context of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate change.
