SNIPPET: 'Forests, grasslands and oceans are absorbing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere faster than ever but they are not keeping pace with rapidly rising emissions,' says CSIRO scientist and co-Chair of the Global Carbon Project, Dr Mike Raupach. Dr Raupach and Swiss scientist, Dr Nicolas Gruber, co-Chaired one of 43 sessions at the conference - Climate Change, Vulnerability of Carbon Sinks. Dr Raupach says concern about the vulnerability of carbon sinks is based on identifying several mechanisms that could cause the present stabilising role of oceans and land to be weakened or even reversed.
