Quote:In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.If you are trying to make a point with this, you should be able to understand it first.
So, the *fraction* of airborne CO2 has not increased. That says nothing about the absolute amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. It means that if CO2 levels have risen, a lot has also gone into the oceans and other deposits. That's no suprise, is it? Nature is all about equilibriums. It does make things extra worse when those deposits loose some of their storing capacity, ofcourse, as the article indicated.
