1.6  CO2 sources and sinks

CO2 sources and sinks on Earth

The Global Carbon Budget shows that the Earth is presently able to sink (absorb) some CO2 into the Oceans and Land. From year 1850 to 2019, there was 410 ppm remaining in the Earth’s Atmosphere.

There is unquestionably a natural limit to the amount of CO2 the Oceans and Land can sink before they become fully saturated with CO2, and at this point will simply not sink any more CO2.

The amount of CO2 left in the Earth’s Atmosphere in Year 2021 about 45% of all CO2 that Human’s put into it. Every year, this percentage is presently increasing, which means the CO2 is trapping increasingly more thermal Energy from the Sun.

Presently, carbon ‘accountants’ cannot reconcile a mysterious 9 ppm in the Global Carbon Budget.
