Breathe in, breathe out

In global-warming news, focus has moved to our planet's lungs - the oceans.

The Zealandia Bank is implicated in the absorption and then emission of carbon. New Zealand's "alps" are much like Ethiopia's, in that respect.

The oceans are supposed to go peak CFC in 2075, emitting them in 2130. We're also supposed to have sharper winter/summer divisions.

I'd ask if there be some proxy for ozone in southern-hemisphere strata: old Patagon pine or Antarctic ice-cores. Extracting all that from the Pleistocene may be difficult. But they're doing it for Grønland. Maybe the Greenlanders can tell us about how the seasons worked during the Eemian behind "warmer".
