Freemand Dyson has another objection to climate modelling: it does not take into account the way climate interacts with biomass. Simple calculations show that even small changes in global biomass absorb huge amounts of atmospheric CO2.

- Retric 17y agoHow does that mesh with the steady increase in atmospheric CO2 over the last 50+ years? I mean it seems like a simple test if the rate of absorption is slower than production then the concentration increases which it has. PS: There is huge and then there is HUGE, once you start talking about millions of tuns of a gas it's hard to get an idea of scale.
