The reason co2 is only accumulating at 15 billion tons per year in the atmospehre, despite over 500 billion tons being emitted globally, is that there are processes removing co2 from the atmosphere.

Given that nature adds co2 to the atmosphere and takes it away too, what is the net effect of nature? The net effect is that nature removes more co2 from the atmosphere than it adds.

Without human co2 emissions the co2 levels in the atmosphere would start falling.
