  1. The whole Earth? or just the UK? by SidV · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Earth Releasing More CO2 Than Originally Thought

    Well according to the article, it's only happening in the UK correct.

    Good thing North America is a Net Carbon Sink

    And before someone says it's warmer since 1998, no it's not. Thanks the El Nino of 1998 we saw a tremendous spike, and tempreatures are cooler today than then.

    I probably confused with U.S. Emissions. Still thin that's on the high end of the scale.

    Oh and PS.

    I've already posted a link to a study showing, through direct measurement, that the US is a Carbon sink. i.e. for every pound of CO2 we emmit, we absorb a little bit more than a pound.

    So nothing to worry about there right?

    Really? Well goody, since the US is a net carbon sink we don't have anything to worry about here.

    But what about Methane which is a much more potent greenhouse gas?
