Emissionen irrelevant bzgl. zukünftigem Klimawandel?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point.
The land and the oceans contain significantly more carbon than the atmosphere, and exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 emissions absorbed by the land or the oceans vary in response to changes in climate (including natural variations such as El Nino or volcanic eruptions). So current theories suggest that climate change will have a feedback effect on the rate that atmospheric CO2 increases; rising CO2 levels in turn add to global warming.Quelle
Die komplexen Prozesse rund um CO2 hat mal nicht mal annähernd verstanden. Warum sich im populistischen Aktionismus verlieren (Grüne), wenn offensichtlichere Probleme (Überbevölkerung, Umweltverschmutzung, Zerstörung von Ökosystemen usw.) warten? Inkonsequenz.
