Description:
The paper of Paillard investigates the Plio-Pleistocene carbon cycle by setting up a conceptual model, consisting of differential equation for the carbon content of the atmosphere-ocean-biosphere C, the alkalinity of the ocean, A, and the stable carbon isotope values of C, d13C. I find the conceptual idea how to understand the observed long-term changes in the carbon cycle very interesting. However, I have some fundamental comments to Equation 3 describing the evolution of the the carbon isotope of the system.
