How Much Do You Change the Concentrations of Greenhouse Gases Over a Time Scale?
simulation where I am going to increase the flow over 10 seconds or so and then I'm going to gently decrease it. Even though the ocean is still warming up, the rate of the pump is going down that's corresponds to greenhouse gas concentrations coming down in the atmosphere. These two effects balance each other and we get no further warming That's what we mean by net zero and how we get concentrations falling at that rate is subject of our carbon cycle lecture which will be coming up soon.
