| Zusammenfassung |
| A global carbon cycle is introduced into a zonally averaged energy balance
climate model. The physical model components are similar to those of Budyko (1969) and
Sellers (1969). The new carbon components account for atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentrations and the terrestrial and oceanic storage of carbon. Prescribing values for
the sum of these carbon components, it is found that inclusion of a closed carbon cycle
reduces the range of insolation over which stable partial ice cover solutions may occur.
This highly simplified climate model also predicts that the estimated release of carbon
from fossil fuel burning over the next hundred years could result in the eventual melting
of the ice sheets.
