Fantastic thread. I'm sending everybody here in the future. Other unintuitive topics that could be covered perhaps: Tree planting & CO2 drawdown isn't as straight forward as it sounds. Also albedo effects of planting trees in northern latitudes may more than undo the neg CO2 iirc

Yes, indeed. The equilibration kinetics depend on the balance of gas-exchange relaxation time, surface residence time and subsequent mixing. This is a good paper: [link] In some places you loose a substantial amount of CO2 deficit to the deep.
