Does the climate keep warming, stay the same, or even cool? First, after carbon dioxide emissions cease, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels begin to decrease, as they are absorbed by natural processes and sinks in the oceans and on land. But what happens when we achieve the goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions from human actions?
