Existing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration at 400 ppm is worrisome. One major reason for this is, dwindling CO2 sinks. We are losing our natural capital, e.g. one of the available CO2 sinks - coral reef - 'the underwater forests' which provide us the services by burial of CO2 in their skeletons along with their photosynthetic symbiotic inhabitants (zooxanthellae).
