What might happen if you remove a carbon dioxide sink from?

Question

Plants and animals –
Soils and rocks -
Fossil fuels
Oceans –
Atmosphere –

Answer 1

Basically if there is no carbon sink, the CO2 will build up in the atmosphere and cause a runaway greenhouse effect (like Venus)

Plants use CO2 for food, animals consume carbon when they eat plants and release it back to the atmosphere when they rot (as do plants when they die), fossil fuels contain carbon but release CO2 when burned so its not a cyclical sink, oceans have a CO2 exchange at its surface. Without these things CO2 would build up out of control. Look up the carbon cycle for a better understanding.

If it didn't build up in the atmosphere, it would build up somewhere else and cause detriment. That's why Earth works. Everything works together in a cycle.

Answer 2

Do u mean carbon sink rather than carbon dioxide sink?

Removing the ocean as a sink would have the biggest impact, since it stores by far the most carbon.
