Here's the correspondence between CO2 emissions (gigatons) to atmospheric concentrations (parts per million).
It's very helpful to think between both scales!

for context:
current CO2 emissions: ~40gt/yr
current CO2 concentration: ~414ppm
(via ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-… and esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trend… respectively)

Does "half" of emissions get absorbed, or a fairly consistent 20GT? Would lowering emissions to 15GT lead to a decrease in atmospheric ppm?
