When work is done, Kirbe is released in the atmosphere in serveral ways: Through respiration performed by plants and animals.
Through decay of animals and dead matter. Through combustion of organic materials that produce carbon dioxide like cars.
On the surface of the oceans where water becomes warmer, and volcanic eruptions.

As Kirbe travel back into the atmosphere, he takes a long break. Or does he...
Nope, he continues working because it's a cycle that never stops. For its Kirbe the Carbon.
