Today we face with an increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Imagine however that the reverse were true. Imagine if there were a decrease in carbon dioxide in an increase in oxygen. What would be the consequences for the temperature of the atmosphere near the surface of the earth? Why would a decrease in carbon dioxide cause this?
