Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas (GHG), which concentration in the atmosphere has been rising since the Industrial Revolution due to emissions from anthropogenic activities (mainly burning of fossil fuels). The continuous CO2 emissions may lead to a potentially irreversible climate change (global warming) and ocean acidification. Even if CO2 emissions could be cut to zero today, the environmental impacts would persist in the future due to the long residence time of this GHG. ...
