Per Grok: "A critical error lies in the conversion factor: the post claims 1 ppm CO2 corresponds to 2.13 Gt of CO2, but standard sources, such as the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (Conversion Tables), state 1ppm CO2 equals 2.13 Gt of carbon. To find the CO2 mass, multiply by 44/12: 2.13 * (44/12) ≥ 7.82 Gt CO2 per ppm. This error affects calculations: the post suggests 36 Gt CO2 corresponds to 36 / 2.13 = 16.9ppmv per year (rounded to 17 pmv), but correctly, it's 36 / 7.82 ≥ 4.6 ppmv per year."
It remains somewhat mysterious where the CO2 goes, as in Anastassia Makarieva's last article.

Thanks for the article !!!
Good bad news or bad good news, that is the question ...
