Projecting the future CO2
|
|
|
concentration is more difficult than
|
|
|
|
projecting the emission levels.
|
|
|
q |
The future concentration of CO2 in
|
|
|
the atmosphere also depends on how
|
|
|
the climate system redistribute the
|
|
|
|
excessive CO2 among its carbon
|
|
|
reservoirs (such as ocean and
|
|
|
biosphere).
|
|
|
q |
CO2 level in the atmosphere peaks
|
|
|
|
centuries after CO2 emission reaches
|
|
its peak.
|
|
|
q |
This is related to the fact that it take
|
|
|
time for ocean to remove the
|
|
|
excessive CO2 from the atmosphere.
