[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 796875, member: 3893"] First you talked about temperatures, and now you've slid over to carbon levels in the atmosphere. Here's the answer to your latest question: [URL='https://keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/2016/05/23/why-has-a-drop-in-global-co2-emissions-not-caused-co2-levels-in-the-atmosphere-to-stabilize/']Why Has a Drop in Global CO2 Emissions Not Caused CO2 Levels in the Atmosphere to Stabilize? | The Keeling Curve (ucsd.edu)[/URL] "There’s a pretty simple reason why the [URL='https://www.iea.org/newsroomandevents/pressreleases/2016/march/decoupling-of-global-emissions-and-economic-growth-confirmed.html']recent stabilization[/URL] in global emissions hasn’t caused CO2 levels to stabilize. The ocean and land sinks for CO2 currently offset only about 50 percent of the emissions.
