Where is All the CO2 Really Going?

Just so one can visualize the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere,
think of the entire atmosphere of earth as a 5 gal bucket and drop one green pea into it.

There’s your visual.

Man is being overrun by tree wood! We will all be killed. I saw The Wizard of Oz!

Nature, either the ocean or plants, doesn't care about the difference between "new" CO2 and existing CO2.

WADR, it is not "new" CO2; it is stored CO2 being re-released after being sequestered for thousands, millions or billions of years.

It's what plants crave.

Just one tree has Colossal size, natural armor, damage reduction, hundreds of hit points, and enough limbs to make a dozen or more attacks per round.

Luckily, the enemy has been quiet since last years’ cabinet making offensive.

six million (6,000,000,000) times more carbon in sedimentary rocks like limestone, shale and sandstone than in the atmosphere. Compared to the lithosphere, atmospheric carbon is a rounding error.

Carbonic acid reduces the Ph of the ocean, so the theory goes. The question naturally arises, “What metal ore (oxide) could economically neutralize the Ph of the sea, creating a carbonate sediment in the process?”

One possible effect which could take CO₂ to the abyss would seem to be deep sea predators dying after having eaten food nourished by CO₂ near the surface. IMHO.

The carbon is old and being recycled, but the CO2 is brand new.

I should’a taken chemistry instead of geology...

Up Al Gores arse evidently.
