affect Earth's present-day atmosphere, if at all?
A. Earth's atmosphere would be unaffected.
B. Atmospheric O2 levels would increase.
C. Atmospheric O2 levels would decrease.
D. Atmospheric CO2 levels would increase,
but O2 levels would be unaffected.
E. Atmospheric O2 levels would increase, but
CO2 levels would be unaffected.
