Why would it take hundreds of years for the Earth to cool to pre-industrial temperatures if greenhouse emissions stopped today? Options: A. The ocean stores most of the extra CO2 and it would begin releasing it back to the atmosphere. B. The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat and would begin releasing it back into the atmosphere. C. The ocean holds most of the organisms that do photosynthesis and they would die without the extra greenhouse gasses. D. The ocean is full of rock and rocks store most of the excess heat and would begin releasing it back into the atmosphere.
