In nature, CO2 is exchanged continually between the atmosphere, plants and animals through photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition, and between the atmosphere and ocean through gas exchange. A very small amount of CO2 (roughly 1% of the emission rate from fossil fuel combustion) is also emitted in volcanic eruptions. This is balanced by an equivalent amount that is removed by chemical weathering of rocks.

Re: Local Elections 2026
It's just stupid in my view.
We're building large concrete boxes full of computers just to store the data the big Tech Boys are continually harvesting.

Those electric cars may not be a good idea 
edit: @Hugh - I guess those volcanoes are no problem then, let's just concentrate on cars & cows

The widely quoted figure for livestock emissions is 14.5% globally, which is quite a chunk.
Other estimates range between 12% and almost 20%, compare that to the UK (in total) which is < 1%.

Re: Local Elections 2026
Let's not concentrate on cows. Steak, milk, cream, leather coats.

We’ll just ignore the fact that animals have lived on this planet for a very long time, including during and before the little ice age.

It's all just a clever ploy to turn us all into vegetarians . . . so we will need much much more land for growing crops for food and oils . . and we will get the land by decimating even more ancient forests for it . . which won't help anything
