With reference to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) dynamics, which of the following statements are correct?
1. In 2024, the global average CO₂ concentration rose by about 3.5 ppm over the previous year — the highest single-year increase since systematic records began.
2. About 50 % of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are absorbed by natural sinks (oceans, forests, soils), but their capacity is declining under climate stress.
3. CO₂ is a short-lived greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, with an average lifetime of a few years, hence its effect diminishes quickly.
4. Increased wildfires, such as in the Amazon, contribute to net positive CO₂ addition due to both combustion and reduced uptake by stressed vegetation.
