Equilibrium global temperature and CO2 partial pressure for an Earth-like planet as a function of time with land-based and seafloor weathering, with WL0 = 1/3 and WS0 = 2/3. The outgassing rate is either fixed at the current rate for Earth (red curves) or decays exponentially with an initial value G0 = 5 times the current rate (blue curves). Note that the two cases are identical for the first 2.9 Gyr.
