I think CO2 would go down naturally after some time. But maybe we actually need to actively remove it, which is way harder.

- concordDance 3y ago> I think CO2 would go down naturally after some time. How? Where does the carbon go?
- Filligree 3y agoEaten by plants, turned into coal. Atmospheric CO2 will indeed go down, after… some time.
- ianburrell 3y agoMy understanding is that weathering of rocks is bigger but slower than organic carbon cycle. It works on order of thousands of years, and is the main long-term balance.
- mikrotikker 3y agoI thought all coal was created in the carboniferous because no organisms had yet developed to break down that material?
