🔥 O₂ vs CO₂ danger gauge

IDEAL · 0.21×

Sinks absorb
169.3 Gt CO₂

Humans emit
34.8 Gt CO₂

Current ratio
0.21×

The gauge reads human CO₂ emitted ÷ natural CO₂ absorbed. Green means emissions are well below what nature can soak up; yellow means we are approaching the natural sink limit; red means emissions exceed natural absorption. Current reading: 0.21× — in the ideal zone.
