A Simple Thousand-Year Prognosis for Oceanic and Atmospheric Carbon Change

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A simple carbon-cycle box model allows for very simple quantitative insight into the evolution of climate over the next millennium. While melting ice sheets, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification are well recognised, we show that a further consequence of the repartitioning of ocean carbon is a dramatic rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide on a millennial time scale.
