Correspondence with UK Government on C&C and ocean acidification continues.
It now includes a Letter - to EPOCA scientists 09 February 2011 seeking answers
to the questions that the Government appears unwilling or unable to address.

  1. Letter to Chris Huhne UK SoS Energy/Climate - 30 May 2010
  2. Reply from Chris Huhne - June 2010
  3. Letter from Nick Clegg - 13 September 2010
  4. Letter & Memo to Chris Huhne after meeting him - 21 September 2010
  5. Reply from Chris Huhne - 31 October 2010
  6. Reply to Chris Huhne - 22 November 2010 with image re sink-failure [also see below]
  7. Letter from Nick Clegg - 17 November 2010
  8. Letter from Jason Lowe - 06 January 2011
  9. Letter from Chris Huhne - 10 January 2011
  10. Reply to Chris Huhne - 15 January 2011

Possibly lacking answers, DECC and the Hadley Centre have declined to reply to the last two letters. So GCI has written a Letter - to EPOCA scientists 09 February 2011 seeking answers to the questions that the HM Government appears unwilling or unable to address. Current News - GCI analysis of Government's assumptions on 'sink-efficiency' and 'ocean acidification'.With the "2016 4% Low" emssions scenario in the UK Climate-Act, the Hadley Centre's AVOID programme projects: -

  1. the lowering of CO2 concentrations after 2050
  2. resulting from the > "100% sink-efficiency" after 2050 [as "not unreasonable"]
  3. combined with the cessation of ocean acidification 2000-2100

This is hardly possible: - how can ocean acidification stop while ocean CO2 deposition accelerates? Here is a Report on this to the All Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group

Below, from the UK Government's 'AVOID' programme, is what they are modelling.Instead of showing how to 'avoid' exceeding a two degrees Celsius global temperature ceiling,
AVOID's emissions scenarios show around sixteen out of eighteen ways we can all just avoid
keeping within that limit . . . .

As with the 'Berlin Wall', the 'Climate-Firewall' can yet come down. 'Climate-detente' possible at COP-17 with negotiated rates of C&C.
