Which sentence summarises a positive feedback between the carbon cycle and climate change?

Increased concentrations of atmospheric CO2 leads to global temperature rise, warming of oceans which absorb less CO2. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to increase.

Enhanced greenhouse gas concentrations cause global temperatures to rise, increasing productivity rates in tropical rainforests. This increases rates of sequestration of CO2, as more carbon is stored in vegetation.

Oceans warm as global temperatures rise. Warms ocveans absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere, reducing the concentration of atmospheric CO2.

Warmer, longer summers in the Arctic lead to increased summer melting of sea ice. Ice free ocean absorbs less solar raidation increasing atmospheric warming.

To what does the carbon budget refer?

The balance of exchanges between the four major stores of carbon.

The amount of carbon in the atmosphere at any one time.

The measurement of the quantity of transferred carbon between land and ocean.

The total quantity of the major stores of carbon.

To limit greenhouse gas emissions so that the average global atmospheric temperature does not go above 3C above pre-industrial levels and try to limit warming to 2C.
