The carbon cycle is probably one of the most important concepts on which the Global Warming hoax and the Climate Change religion relies on. The story about carbon sources and sinks etc.
I have a strong hunch that this carbon cycle narrative does not hold up to close scrutiny. The science is very far from settled! There is still too much we do not know about it and which we can not exactly quantify (margins of error are probably huge)!
"... Perhaps the most challenging and societally relevant question is whether the rate at which the land and ocean can sequester carbon will continue to keep pace with rising carbon dioxide emissions. ...
Although anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, this natural climate change mitigation has so far proportionally kept pace with emissions ...
Predicting interactions between Earth’s climate and carbon cycle is challenging because of the number of feedbacks involved. ...
Thus, there are observational gaps in climate-sensitive tropical, boreal, and Arctic ecosystems. ...
With multidecadal satellite remote sensing records, it has become possible to distinguish interannual variability from trends. ...
Observational systems monitoring ocean chemical and physical processes are also critical for understanding the ocean carbon cycle. Current ocean observing systems include ship-based measurements, the Argo floats network, and surface buoys from the Global CO2 Time-Series and Moorings Project. These systems measure surface water CO2 and temperature ...
Just as observational methods produce different results, current terrestrial ecosystem models indicate different trends in carbon uptake ..., limiting our understanding of the evolution of carbon-climate feedbacks ..."
Perhaps, it has more than just kept pace! When scientists use words like "challenging" they mean they don't know! 😄

"Observational gaps" a very neat euphemism for huge holes!
"multidecadal satellite ... records" Laughable! Only 5-4 decades at most, the first NASA meteorological weather satellite was launched in 1960. Only in the last two decades or so we have a tight net of satellites with better technologies orbiting earth for such scientific research!
We still know very little what goes on in our oceans especially below the surface!
E.g. the recent greening of our planet (plants absorbing more carbon dioxide) was not part of the narrative! "According to climate models, the future looks even greener."
Most likely, we still do not understand the carbon dioxide sinks very well. Our current knowledge is more like assumptions/approximations than confirmed verifiable, and quantifiable facts!
Here is an 2020 article from EOS (published by the American Geophysical Union) about the carbon cycle.
The NASA Earth Observatory posted an article about carbon cycle in 2011 that still comes up at the top of Google search, although this article is archived and not updated anymore since 2011 (see references at the bottom of article). Not only that NASA does not even bother to refer the reader to a more updated version of this article!
P.S. Ocean acidification is another of the typical scaremongering terms often and willingly used even in popular scientific publications (see e.g. this NOAA educational web page)
