Abstract
The carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels can theoretically be controlled by growing trees. Quantitative estimates are made of the size and cost of a plant-growing program designed to halt the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

A noniinear geochemical model of the interaction of atmospheric CO/sub 2/ with the oceans and land biota has been constructed and it appears that the land biomass has increased 1 to 3% since the beginning of more » the industrial era.

A new model for the examination of such trends from long term changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration is presented that avoids such problems by focusing on potential changes in yearly patterns of atmosphericCO2.
