Now we want to proceed to understand quantitatively why climate is changing.
The bottom line is that if we were to instantly increase the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere, roughly half of it would be absorbed back into plants and the upper ocean after only 100 years or ...The bottom line is that if we were to instantly increase the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere, roughly half of it would be absorbed back into plants and the upper ocean after only 100 years or so, but the other half might take many thousands of years to be removed from the air.
