Hi, I read the IPCC report recently, have a couple questions:
1. In the IPCC report, they mention that there’s not enough evidence to know with high confidence whether global warming increases the occurrence of natural disasters. If the global warming trend continues, is there potential for natural disasters / volcanic eruptions / etc. to bring some balance back? What factors would influence this? Or can balance only be brought back through natural removal of the various gases in the atmosphere over many years (depending on type of gas)?
2. Is there potential in the future for natural sinks to increase their intake of CO2, thereby offsetting some of the effects of global warming? There was a mention in the IPCC report that natural sinks have been increasing their intake somewhat, but I didn’t really understand the cause of this
Thanks
