Carbon Dioxide is a natural part of the organic chemistry of the environment. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. What is the absorption capacity for the World? Can we improve the health of coral reefs and rainforests to increase this capacity?

CO2 is not a polutant? When it reaches leves that adversely affects the environment I would consider it a polutant.
Carbon Dioxide is rising because we are in a period of global warming. It is not the other way around. The affect of warming oceans is that they give up their dissolved CO2. During the ice ages, CO2 dropped to the point were certain plants were adverseley affected. Improving the health of the rainforests is not going to overcome the CO2 released from the oceans as a result of global warming.
