What is the fate of a pulse of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere?
After release, the CO2 is gradually taken up by land & ocean, roughly in equal parts for the first 50 years, but the land saturates while the ocean continues to take up carbon.

Wildfires aren’t a problem in the UK, right? Wrong. Not on the same scale as we are seeing in LA, but there are thousands of wildfires every year in the UK. In the heatwave of July 2022 wildfires broke out in London.
