tion reaches 750 ppm by the end of the 21st century. If the CO 2 emission rate is
frozen at the 2010 level, the CO 2 concentration roughly doubles the pre-industrial
level by the end of the 21st century. Even the downward ramp leads to some
elevation of atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Hence, it seems likely that the CO 2
