In my research as a scientist studying carbon sinks, I would consider the following as carbon sinks:
- **Ocean**: The ocean absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it a major carbon sink.
- **Organisms**: Specifically, organisms such as trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, storing carbon in their biomass, which also makes them carbon sinks.
The **sky** is not typically considered a carbon sink, and **the process of burning fossil fuels** actually releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to higher levels of greenhouse gases, rather than acting as a sink.
