Natural compensation?
Can you please explain the comment about nature compensating for part of the emissions so "only about half of the CO2 we emit stays in the air"? Through what mechanism(s) is this happening? Does this mean that humans are emitting a net 3 gigatonnes of CO2 which is not handled, or is it already included in the 6 gigatonne figure?
