My question is this: With increased CO2 emissions, wouldn't that in turn cause a plant growth explosion which could counter-act this? While you will point out the deforestation, I would like to point out that the ocean plankton convert vastly more CO2 to O2 than the forests of the world. Mixed with few whales/fish/etc because of environmental issues the natural predators of the sea life are diminished.
Has anyone even looked into this?
