When we might actually reach 1.5 °C isn't clear, Schmidt said, and depends both on how quickly greenhouse gases are emitted — which depends on how quickly countries act to limit their emissions — and just how much additional carbon dioxide can be emitted before the 1.5 °C goal is breached, which is still somewhat uncertain.

And the wood in a building effectively sequesters carbon, while trees regrowing in logged areas can absorb additional carbon dioxide (CO2).

Ocean acidification can mitigate some reactions — for example, because the additional carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the seawater supports the growth of phytoplankton as food for the copepods.

As the temperature rises, water vapor evaporates at a higher rate, raising the water vapor content of the atmosphere, further amplifying the the increased greenhouse effect of the additional carbon dioxide.
