Carbon sources and sinks are notoriously hard to measure, and there are much larger ones that remain inadequately characterized. The important ones are those that are large (or will become so) and will undergo significant change with further warming (which the septic tank source won't). If you google, you'll find that papers adjusting the size of sources and sinks (present and/or future) are quite frequent. An important one relating to permafrost came out just a few weeks ago.Steve Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943109973917998380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-90620145538475977042011-03-17T21:20:46.423-04:002011-03-17T21:20:46.423-04:00So this will require an slight upward adjustment t...So this will require an slight upward adjustment to climate sensitivity?
