In his lecture called "Heretical Thoughts About Science and Society"[1], Freeman Dyson[2] states: "the problem of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a problem of land management, not a problem of meteorology". This is based on a calculus of the yearly increase in thickness averaged over one half of the land area of the planet, if all the carbon we're emitting by burning fossil fuel were turned into biomass by photosynthesis. This yearly increase is one hundredth of an inch, and illustrates the "very favorable rate of exchange between carbon in the atmosphere and carbon in the soil". 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xFLjUt2leM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xFLjUt2leM 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_dyson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_dyson
