    The Earth’s surface area is about 70% percent covered by water.

    More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth’s total volume.

    If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.

      Yes, but the concentration of CO₂ is about 420 ppm from 2023 measurements. Whereas your average carbonated soda is around 10,000 to 15,000 ppm. And most people call anything below 2,000 ppm flat.

      Something to consider.
