The oceans contain about 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere, mostly as bicarbonates. When the temperature of the ocean rises a little, more CO2 is released into the atmosphere, and when it cools down, goes back more CO2 in the water. Small changes in the CO2 content of water correspond to large changes in the atmosp... | 2_1 |
So is rainforest loss, as Postel suggest, nearly 40 million acres per year the alleged equivalent of one football field per second?
