"## Problem Statement\n",
"\n",
"The total global emissons of CO2 is estimated by the [Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency](http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/trends-in-global-co2-emissions-2013-report) to be 34.5 billion metric tons from all sources, including fossil fuels, cement production, and land use changes. [As measured by NOAA](http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/global.html), in recent years the atmospheric concentration of CO2 is increasing at an annual rate of about 2.4 ppmv (parts per million by volume).\n",
"\n",
"
\n",
"\n",
"Assuming these numbers are accurate and that the atmosphere is well mixed, what fraction of global CO2 emissions are being retained in the atmosphere?"
