Abstract
Analyses of the compatibility between postulated releases of biotic carbon and changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration must properly consider the history of changes in each quantity. A history of atmospheric CO2 changes obtained from ice-cores is compared to a history of biotic CO2 releases obtained from ecosystem modelling. It is shown that these two records are incompatible with any linear time-invariant model of oceanic uptake of CO2.
