So why then are you using natural CO₂ absorption in you OP?
You can't have it both ways.
You can't count natural absorption but then ignore natural emissions.

That's a completely different question. Your OP related to the CO₂ absorption of natural forests and grasslands

All of which is currently releasing all of its CO₂ in the bushfires through out the country (but of course you don't count this, you only count it when forests and grasslands absorb CO₂)

oh noes. Quoting wiki?

So youbelieve wiki over peer-reviewed articles?

"Our results show a strong carbon uptake in Australia from the end of 2010 to mid‐2012. This uptake coincided with record‐breaking rainfall and consequent soil moisture increase that lead to increased growth of vegetation as shown by the increased SIF and the observed peak in biomass burning emissions, as well as the large increased flux uptake shown in the inversion results."

From one of your previous posts -

From that report from the CSIRO -

"From October 2010 to March 2011, an extraordinary rainfall event occurred over most of Australia, which resulted in three-quarters of Queensland being declared a flood disaster zone – an area as big as France, Germany and Italy combined."

So on the one hand you misquote them and on the other you deny the science.

Of course October in the US is Autumn.

Now see if you can do the job properly.

And the "FALL" is the leaves falling AKA Autumn.

Also, 2009 and early 2010 were very dry years due to a strong El Niño. At the end of 2010, however, this shifted dramatically as the combined effect of a strong La Niña with enhancing influences from the Indian Ocean Dipole and Southern Annular Mode causing record‐breaking precipitation over large parts of Australia. This lasted well into 2012 and has been associated with a global 7 mm drop in the ocean levels [Fasullo et al., 2013].

Note the carbon flux decreasing from the GOSAT satellite in 2010.

That's what the science says petal.

Nope. Peak growing is Spring. Ripening happens from October to December. You don't know much about growing seasons do you?

And yet it is data from a Japanese satellite.  You, like random, like to shoot the messenger.

So you disagree with the paper from the American Geophysical Union? How novel.

Don't forget that all I need to show is that 2010 was not a typical year and that whatsupwiththat were cherry picking their data. This I have proved.

So. have you got any data from any year other than 2010?

Now clearly 2010 was not a typical year which has been unscientifically cherry picked by whatsupwiththat.com


I will ask you once again.
Do you have any evidence that Australia is a carbon sink other than a cherry picked 2010

I suggest you look up what a negative carbon flux is

Wow lee
Even when you are shown to be completely wrong you still can't admit it
I guess this proves you are just a troll
