Question... What are we going to use as the feed stock to make the soil?
My understanding of the process is that it's carbon fixed from the atmosphere by Photosynthesis.

The value for solar forcing is the same value I calculated as a raw without any feedbacks what so ever. The value they use for CO2 is with full feedbacks. Most if not all feedbacks would work for either cause, so why are they not calculated in for solar forcing as well?
I see a chart of constituent atmospheric gases and whether they vote Republican or Democrat, with error bars. Where does the feedback come in? Is it assumed or buried in another chart?
