6. How long does it take for CO2 to go away?

1 year

10 years

50 years

100 years

CO2, or carbon dioxide, is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. It is released into the atmosphere through various human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. Once released, CO2 can stay in the atmosphere for a long time before being naturally absorbed by plants, oceans, or other natural processes. The process of CO2 removal from the atmosphere is gradual, and it can take up to 100 years for CO2 levels to significantly decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 years.
