The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification (2011, background): “(82), a simple terrestrial weathering feedback is implemented in GENIE.”
An overview of the Earth system science of solar geoengineering (2016, background): “Even slowly phasing out solar geoengineering would mean that the warming that had been offset by solar geoengineering would occur as a substantial fraction of emitted CO2 will remain in the atmosphere on a timescale of millennia.(113,114) This has led to suggestions that solar geoengineering be used”
Global warming in the pipeline (2022, background): “If human emissions ceased, atmospheric CO 2 would initially decline a few ppm per year, but uptake would soon slow—it would take millennia for CO 2 to reach preindustrial levels [131].”
Climate Impacts on Economic Growth as Drivers of Uncertainty in the Social Cost of Carbon (2014, positive): “Atmospheric CO2 perturbations in DICE disappear within centuries while larger models show them persisting on the order of 10,000 years (Archer et al, 2009; Glotter et al, 2013).”
Ulva rigida in the future ocean: potential for carbon capture, bioremediation and biomethane production (2018, background): “To meet the Paris Agreement goal of maintaining the global temperature rise to below 2 °C above preindustrial levels (Schreurs, 2016) will necessitate a reduction in CO2 emissions and a sweeping programme of CO2 capture and storage (Archer et al., 2009).”
Emission pathways consistent with a 2[thinsp][deg]C global temperature limit (2011, background): “because a significant fraction of CO 2 emissions, the dominant anthropogenic GHG, is removed very slowly from the atmospher”
Carbon dioxide and climate impulse response functions for the computation of greenhouse gas metrics:a multi-model analysis (2012, positive): “This evolution is consistent with earlier model results (Maier-Reimer and Hasselmann, 1987; Cao et al., 2009; Siegenthaler and Joos, 1992; Sarmiento et al., 1992; Enting et al., 1994; Archer et al., 2009; Eby et al., 2009).”
