|a Multimillennial simulations with a fully coupled climate–carbon cycle model are examined to assess the
persistence of the climatic impacts of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. It is found that the time required to absorb
anthropogenic CO2 strongly depends on the total amount of emissions; for emissions similar to known fossil
fuel reserves, the time to absorb 50%of the CO2 is more than 2000 yr. The long-term climate response appears
to be independent of the rate at which CO2 is emitted over the next few centuries. Results further suggest that
the lifetime of the surface air temperature anomaly might be as much as 60% longer than the lifetime
of anthropogenic CO2 and that two-thirds of the maximum temperature anomaly will persist for longer than
10 000 yr. This suggests that the consequences of anthropogenic CO2 emissions will persist for many millennia. |
