Scientists have calculated the most accurate estimate to date on how rising temperatures will trigger the release of more CO2 from the ocean and land, further amplifying the greenhouse effect.
But some experts warn it still won't tell us exactly what will happen to the planet as CO2 in the atmosphere continue to rise.
Palaeoclimatologist Dr David Frank of the Swiss Federal Research Institute in Birmensdorf and colleagues report their findings in today's issue of the journal Nature .
"It's well known that the CO2 increase will cause a temperature increase," says Frank.
"But what also happens is that you have increased temperatures that causes the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere to also release more CO2 into the atmosphere."
