Impact of terrestrial biosphere carbon exchanges on the anomalous CO2 increase in 2002–2003
|
Concluding paragraphs:
In general, we find that the remarkable feature of the 2002– 2003 anomaly seems to be that climate fluctuations, not only related to ... |

Too late for two degrees? Low carbon economy index 2012
|
Even doubling our current rate of decarbonisation would still lead to emissions consistent with 6 degrees of
warming by the end of the century. To give ourselv... |
