per cent going into the land biosphere. However, scientists are concerned as this removal
of our pollution is unlikely to continue fully in the future. This is because as global tem-

. As we continue to
deforest and convert land for farming and urbanization there will be less vegetation to ab-
sorb CO

, again reducing the uptake of our carbon pollution.
