Wait til it reaches 77 jiggatons!Or 88. Or 121. One of those two numbers means only one thing.

Sort of depends on how small a particule of carbon we are talking about though doesn’t it?

An old article, hyped up to add fuel to climate hysteria.
Needless to say, there’s little to it.

Honestly, the best solution going and they employ such destructive ideas as carbon capture plants as great expense and destruction of the environment, all in the name of saving it.
Pawns of Satan, all.

No. They’re going to demand more taxes and more useless restrictions on our freedom.

Isaac Asimov also started out as a biochemist. Then he started writing fiction. It paid more and was more honest.

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.

Carbon is found in many places and in many forms, but the way the author describes it, there should not be a gigatonne of (solid) carbon being released into rivers annually. Carbon dioxide, maybe.

And yet with all these sources of CO2 it's still a trace gas in the atmosphere ...
Total volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .03%.

Man made contributions to that are 3.225% of that .03%.

Not new and proves our carbon emissions, even if detrimental to climate are a drop in the bucket to Mother Nature, I say Greta shoild haul her in before The Hague 😂

This is obviously a dire situation that is more important than anything else. Luckily, if we raise taxes and return human civilization to the Stone Age, Mother Earth will heal. </sarc>

as usual, the climate catastrophists don’t really do science, they do fear-mongering and control
