How have atmospheric carbon levels changed?
Without any fossil fuel consumption, which parts of the cycle have improved their carbon levels in comparison to previous data? Which sections of the cycle have improved from the previous levels you have recorded but still are increasing their carbon levels?

How has atmospheric carbon levels changed?
A: The atmospheric carbon levels will decrease. They will decrease to the point that the levels will be close or same as the carbon levels they started with.
Without any fossil fuel consumption, which parts of the cycle have improved their carbon levels in comparison to previous data? Which sections of the cycle have improved from the previous levels you have recorded but still are increasing their carbon levels?
A: There are 3 sections that are still increasing their carbon levels even there is no fossil fuel consumption. And they are: the soil, deep ocean, and the ocean surface. The soil has increased the most out of all three sections that have increased their carbon levels.
