Wow, way to fuck up the headline

No rise in the atmospheric fraction of CO2 - i.e. as we add more, carbon sinks are continuing to pull the same percentage out of the atmosphere as they did previously, according to this new study

The total amount in the atmosphere is still skyrocketing and many scientists question how long the oceans can continue absorbing the CO2(which is causing them to acidify)

Here's the actual citation http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2009GL040613.shtml titled "Is the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions increasing".

I'm no expert in climatology, but the science of other complex systems (e.g. medicine) often produce conflicting studies. Why should climatology be any different?
