"Published June 1997 - since then all those predictions and models have been revised downward -" Not exactly true. As was shown, the emission rate has greatly increased since then. "None of those describe the rate of co2 growth in the air - they talk about the emissions growth rate - not the same at all." No, it isn't. And certainly the various carbon sinks has moderated the increase. But, the rate of increase is still increasing. As can be shown here. ftp://ftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/ccg/co2/trends/co2_gr_mlo.txt Note that the earlier data is more or less below 1.0 and the latest data is over 2, although it does vary a lot from year to year.
