Humans are adding about 3 Gr billion metric tons) of carbon as CO, to the atmosphere each year. It has been suggested that the effects of increased Co, in the atmosphere can be offset by planting trees. Living trees on Earth contain about 500 GI of carbon, remove about 5 Gt of carbon per year though photosynthesis, and add about 5 Gt of carbon per year through respiration and decay. If humans plant trees equal to 1% of all present forests, how much carbon will be removed from the atmosphere?
Options:
1. 0.5 Gt
2. 5.0 Gt
3. 50 Gt
4. 100 Gt
Option: B
