How to handle negative emissions when subtracting FARM emissions from RCP scenario? #6

When subtracting FARM emissions from RCP scenario (to avoid double-counting) how should it be handled if the modified RCP scenario ends up having negative emissions?

Physically, I think this would imply the net effect of all non-agriculture sources is to be a sink for that greenhouse gas.

This is a good question. I wasn't sure if negative N20 was reasonable, so I originally coded it with a lower bound at zero. I'm open to either method, and think we should look into this from a more authoritative source.
