hey foghorn leghorn: there are indeed many complex interactions and mechanisms that are at play. here is a hint: try using a thermometer.

your article is just a tiny sub-routine and not a driver. sort of like saying since there is a bug on your windshield, the aerodynamics of your car are seriously affected.

rooster -- whatever the full story with that, with how much isoprene comes from the ocean surface and how, and how/to what extent it should be better integrated into climate models, it is nothing new, been going on all along, so there is no good reason, anyway, to speculate that better factoring it in will significantly alter the models' outputs -- so maybe the ongoing baseline is about 5.5 rather than 2 megatons per year as what's been entering the atmosphere all along -- and we've still warmed and continue to warm, and the ice is still melting and the sea level still rising, both more and more rapidly -- as we have driven atmospheric CO2 levels to levels not seen in at least 15 to 20 million years, at a rate of increase on the order of 100 times faster than has been observed in past naturally-occurring increases in atmospheric CO2 levels -- as we, our activities on their own, continue dumping gigatons of excess CO2, currently over 30 gigatons per year, into the atmosphere, on top of the ongoing/recent natural carbon cycle baseline that by itself is/has been pretty well neutral, net -- an excess much of which is not being, quite apparently cannot be, additionally just taken in, absorbed net, by the ongoing baseline carbon cycle -- so a bunch of our excess CO2 is just piling up in the atmosphere -- and that is warming us up

by the way -- there has not been any 'pause' in global warming over the last 17 years (there's recently been new research on that; note how The Register deflects, instead putting it "global temperatures have actually been stable for more than fifteen years") -- and this year will (quite handily) be the new warmest year on record yet, ahead of the current warmest year on record yet, last year

and yes, I can strongly back up every bit of that -- tons of stuff stashed, primary sources and analyses, on all of that and much, much more, going back to my last major climate postings at (linked in) http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=102161216 and http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=102380749 and preceding and following
