Research shows that there is a correlation between increased carbon in the atmosphere and global temperature increases. If sources release more carbon into the atmosphere than sinks can remove, what might be the results? What might happen if the reverse were true and sinks took up more than sources?

Explanation:

Source is where the carbon dioxide is been produce from while the sinks are the various portion that utilizes the carbon dioxide.

If the source releases more of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the sink takes up then excess of carbon dioxide will be found in the atmosphere which is not good for the earth as it leads to global warming together with other green house gases.

When the sinks takes up more, then carbon dioxide will be insufficient to the sources with some source having it and others not having at all. Carbon dioxide is of high importance to plant as its a major source of food production through photosynthesis this will be greatly affected.
