I meant that I supposed that the actual *rate* of increase would also increase rather than remain steady. That the models would show that increasingly larger ppm would be added each year. I'm just wondering.

My assumption is that most of the increasing amounts would be projected to be coming from developing countries, while emissions from the US and Europe would decrease.

Probably worth noting that the 30% is in terms of the ppm, rather than the total fraction of the atmosphere occupied by CO2.

I have another question. Is CO inluded in the total ppm of CO2?

The basics are that in modeling the increase in CO2 over the next century, a variety of different economic and societal "evolution" pathways are used. Each of these yields a different growth curve and final value in 2100. None of them shows a likely decrease in atmospheric CO2 (chuckle).

Er, yes, or we'd all be dead.

No.
