Influence of CO2 emission rates on the stability of the thermohaline circulation

Researchers use a simple coupled atomsphere-ocean climate model to show the Atlantic thermohaline circulation is not only sensitive to the final atmospheric CO2 concentration attained, but also depends on the rate of change of the CO2 in the atmosphere.
