This describes the cycles which have taken place in the past. There apparently was enormous amounts of foliage (CO2 consumers) during time of dinosaurs. I expect these planet-scale cycles to continue.
- sidewndr46 4y agoIf you're talking about the Carboniferous period, my understanding is that was a one time thing. There were no organisms to break down wood and other plant matter during that time period. Huge amounts of lignin in the trees meant that it just got buried as sequestered carbon. That won't happen a second time since nowadays it is possible for all modern trees to be decomposed by a subset of living organisms.
- lukas099 4y agoThe closest thing to a modern equivalent is plastics, isn't it? Carbon polymers that current organisms cannot break down.
- sidewndr46 4y agoI don't think carbon is sequestered by plastic production, because it is not produced by photosynthesis.
