We do not have our own atmosphere over here. There is a large quantity of CO2 in the air for plants to draw on even if we stopped adding new CO2 plus there is plenty of CO2 still being created by decaying material and Europe. The North American Continent has been reforesting faster than anyplace else in the world. See http://www.hooverdigest.org/011/huber.html search for the word sink in the document. Note this is not the only source of this data but it was the first I found. Again, if the reduction of gases is so important than other countries should just go ahead an do it. We have been told that this sort of thing does not negatively impact the economy so what do you have to lose? Just to bring things back a little closer to a the purpose of this group...I suspect most of the climate models that are predicting global warming effects are written in C (with some FORTRAN in the mix).. It will be great when we find out that the whole thing was caused by running of the end of some array :)
