That's scary reading especially as we've barely started talking about what to do about it, at least here in oz, and are still debating the actual reality of AGW!
I'm not a scientist and i've only recently started to educate myself on AGW so apologies if my questions are kind of dumb. Would it be right to say that as the atmosphere heats up more C02 is released into the atmosphere from ice sheets and the ocean and C02 absorbing organisms die off which potentially and exponentially creates even more warming?
Also, i've tried to find this information but havent yet, is there some reliable testable method of quantifying how much C02 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is the result of natural phenomenon, ie not from human activity? Or is the system simply too big and complex to make a reasonable estimation?
