Studies suggest that Earth’s atmosphere would have been predominantly CO2 – as much 95% by volume – when the planet was first formed about 4.5 billion years back.

Even a couple of billion years later (about 2.7 billion years back), the CO2 concentrations were about 25-50% of the atmosphere.

Is it any wonder that most of what we are seeing all around us has carbon in it – including us, of course!

Now, what does all these mean from a practical standpoint?

If CO2 levels came down from 95% to 0.04% through its conversions to diverse forms on earth, similar processes should provide avenues to reduce it from 0.04% to say 0.02%.

What do you think?

BTW, the above perspective is hardly original, though I fancy my articulation and context setting possibly are 🙂
