It is indeed when you consider that an extra 7.1 Gigatonnes of the stuff enters the Earth's Carbon cycle every year. Back in the 70's approximately 50% of the annual CO2 emissions were taken up in the Ocean. Nowadays only 30% of the emission ends up in the ocean due to the reduction in ocean pH and to a lesser extent, the slight increase in ocean temperatures.


Volcanoes contribute only about 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Emissions of CO2 by human activities are currently more than 50 times greater than the quantity emitted by volcanoes.

There isn't enough time to stop environment from changing. Humans breed much faster and therefore produce more emissions then is possible to cut. That's the graph you youself supplied


besides the graph supplied by me and apparently earlier by you as well shows that ecological changes of this kind are quiet regular for the planet earth. Humans like other animals are only part of Nature not the rulers of it and every time they think they are clever they only staff up for the worse.



The Novelty Theory says that the Time Wave amplitude is coming to Zero in approximately  4 years and 22 days. The fourth Time Reset is at (13.0.0.0.0). Now it is 12.19.15.15.16, which the Vostok-ice-core data of the above  graph independently confirms.

Where about is it?

Now your graph with the CO2 fixed to include today's data. I have left the temperature and dust trends unedited.

That's the heart of your logical fallacy. Some of us don't emit as much as others. In fact the section of the population that is growing is largely in the undeveloped world where emissions per capita are low.

Emissions per capita are high in Australia and the USA, but to quote the film Australia which we watched last night -

"That's how it is, but it doesn't have to be like that" 
(or something like that)

As you can see the frequency of curves did not change so as far as the Time Wave is concerned the fourth Time Reset is still on target.

LOL. Did you look at the original reference? (The Hadcrut link - spot the difference) Some naughty person has ever so slightly photoshopped an error bar to make it look like a downward trend. (whoops my finger slipped er accidentally)

Not subtle!  That's hilarious!

The two graphs (NASA and Hadley)are otherwise almost identical, except for the scales.

Both show a 0.7 deg C increasing trend.
