"Once the carbon is released into the atmosphere, it takes a long time for natural mechanisms, such as ocean absorption and rock weathering, to remove excess carbon from the air and store it in the soil and marine sediments."

Nonsense. Absolute, complete, utter, incalculably incorrect nonsense.

Carbon dioxide is continuously removed from the atmosphere by plants, which use it to form sugars to store energy from sunlight. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means more plant biomass, which consumes more carbon dioxide, which makes less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Be careful what you read. Most journalists never made it past their fourth grade science classes.

And what exactly do animals do in this system?
