Why aren't atomospheric levels of carbon dioxide rising as rapidly as might be expected based on the increased output of carbon dioxide resulting from human activites?

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are not matching the increasing amounts humans are putting into the air because the carbon cycle is actually able to remove about 55% of the extra carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Land, plants and ocean have removed more than half of our pollution.
A:This is a very difficult question to answer because there are too many factors that can affect our atmosphere, my personal views are affected by an article i read about how different air content affected how plants grow. i don't know how accurate the article was but it seems the more carbon dioxide in are atmosphere the more plants consume and grow therefore producing more oxygen, statistics have proven today that roughly 30% of earth's landmasses are covered in trees, then take into account that a very large amount is covered in other plant life ie grass, mosses, flowers, bushes. so to truly answer this question more research needs to be done on how the plants are affected by atmospheric content and how much they affect it in return as they consume a lot of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere.Wiki User

The phenotypic ratio resulting from a dihybrid cross showing independent assortment is expected to be what?
The phenotypic ratio resulting from a dihybrid cross showing independent assortment is expected to be 9:3:3:1. This ratio is obtained when two heterozygous individuals are crossed for two traits that are independently inherited. The ratio represents the different combinations of phenotypes that can arise from the cross.
Are the offspring in a Punnett square real or expected?

Will global warming lead to migration or change in population?
Populations in low-lying areas of Bangladesh and some Pacific Island nations are expected to be forced out of their homes by rising sea levels resulting from global warming. Presumably, rich nations like the United States will provide new homes and assistance for these people.
Why inductance of a coaxial cable is expected to increase when the radius of the outer conductor is increased?
Because there is more room in the cable for the magnetic field to form. The magnetic flux density is set by the current in the cable, and with a bigger space that flux density produces more actual flux. The inductance is the flux divided by the current, so a wider cable has more inductance. But if the inner conductor is also increased in size by the same ratio, the effect is negated and the inductance is the same as before.
What is expected to happen to the ozone layer during your lifetime?
The ozone is expected to deplete more. It is because of the use of CFC's.
