[Oceans are 'soaking up less CO2']

IMO, I think you will need to get to grips with the concept of climate 'forcings' - the various effects upon climate measured in W/m2. Scientists who have do this have come up with graphs like the one below (from the 'AR4'). So, a lot of 'anthropogenic' forcing (labelled 'other forcings') and some natural ones. But see how the figures for solar forcing are less than anthropogenic forcings? And notice how big volcanic eruptions can have marked climate forcing effect - but not often or for very long.

Ok thank you for the graph....

I've not understood what 'climate forcings' mean... but i notice how the 'other forcings' is going up between 1800-2000 and temperature too. Do you think there is a similarity between 'other forcings' going up and 'volcanic forcings' is very less in 1800 ?

i'm sorry about my rusty english !

[Oceans are 'soaking up less CO2']

Hi everybody

I'm 17 and i'm french.... At the school they wonder to me (in order to the "TPE program") to make something about the global worming...

At the moment i'm looking for any information to the subject...

So i found your forum and that thread....

I'll be honesty with you.... i've not read all the reply.

And about the climate change i'm wondering if you guys think it's due to the CO2 in the atmosphere or if it's due to a natural climatic change....

thank in advance
