Alkalinity responses to climate warming destabilise the Earth’s thermostat
The weathering alkalinity flux from mid-latitudes to the ocean will be strongly altered by climate warming by 2100. Under different emissions scenarios either a strengthening or a weakening of the flux and thus of the oceanic CO2 buffer is predicted.
