| Comments | P.134 right column 2nd paragraph: "Increased atmospheric CO2 will only slightly affect the CO2 level in the oceans, since the latter contain 55 times more CO2 than the atmosphere. Thus there will be no feedback based on increased atmospheric CO2, or at most very little ( < 2 % of effects on land)." See BNID 108698 |
