Net global emissions of CO2 are independent of mans emissions of CO2.
In other words the CO2 being emitted from natural sources eclipses and is independent of mans very minor emissions of CO2.
Ajax you are making the same mistake again of ignoring the natural carbon cycle.
Natural emissions of CO2 are balanced by natural absorption of CO2. It's called the carbon cycle and results in the atmosphere having about 280ppm of CO2.
Then along comes the industrial revolution and man starts pumping
additional CO2 into the atmosphere.
Additional CO2 results in
additional warming. It's fairly basic science
On the contrary I'm not ignoring the natural carbon cycle at all, but rather taking it into account.
First of all temperature controls the natural emissions of CO2 and how much net flux per annum of an increase in CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
If as you think all this extra CO2 is coming from mans emissions alone then we would have a steady net flux increase one year after another mimicking mans emissions.
But as the charts show below, even though man's emissions are for ever increasing the net flux per annum of additional CO2 that gets released into the atmosphere doesn't follow the manmade footprint which we can monitor fairly accurately, but rather it follows what temperature is doing year in year out.
Instead the natural carbon cycle of CO2 net emissions per annum from all natural sources depends on the temperature and these natural sources totally eclipse mans emissions, because in the overall scheme of things mans emissions only account for about 4% of the natural carbon cycle of CO2 in our atmosphere.
You're really deluding yourself if you think that atmospheric CO2 should be at 280ppm maximum on our planet Earth.
Its pretty simple really just LOOK INTO OUR HISTORY...!!
Don't take my word as gospel do some research and you will see that today e have some of the lowest amounts of atmospheric CO2 as history shows..................
Go to the 33 minute mark of this video and watch it for about 10 minutes, better still watch it all.
