Well there seems to be a bit of difference between his actual findings and what that article says his findings are. Try taking a look at an actual graph from the study…

Figure 1. The annual increase in atmospheric CO2 (as determined from ice cores, thin dotted lines, and direct measurements, thin black line) has remained constantly proportional to the annual amount of CO2 released by human activities (thick black line). The proportion is about 46% (thick dotted line). (Figure source: Knorr, 2009)

His paper suggested the carbon “sink” has not decreased it’s ability to absorb about 50% of the C02, but as my other post shows, he is not a denier, just that we have not yet reached a tipping point where the earth absorbs less of the co2 increase. He said:

“We are pushing the system to it’s limits and it might break at some stage, as the model suggests. But is hasn’t happened yet. I would not experiment with the climate system.”
