A comment about the Amazon Rain Forest. It is not a carbon sink. The vast majority of the trees that die in that forest become termite food. Termites fart methane and a lot. The methane enters the atmosphere but has a relatively short half life. It is broken down into CO2 (the dreaded gas) and water.
Yes the forest contributes O2 to the atmosphere but its removal of CO2 is minimal. Organic matter that flows down the Amazon River and buried in ocean sediments is a minor carbon sink. Oddly most of our O2 comes from algae in the oceans.
as usual, the climate catastrophists don’t really do science, they do fear-mongering and control
“ Yes the forest contributes O2 to the atmosphere but its removal of CO2 is minimal.” If trees are plants and they take up CO2 to survive and release O2 so that we can survive. I presume, then, that a forest of trees takes up a lot of CO2, which some might consider a CO2 sink.
