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. Some models show a potential for a rise of up to 0.3 degrees Celsius, which is non-trivial, but others show a potential for a decrease of up to 0.3
