Dumb rocks are not playing much of a role in AGW.

60+ megatons

is nothing compared to

30+ gigatons.

I understand conservative asshats may not know the difference between mega and giga. Let Google be your friend.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/276629/global-co2-emissions/

Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry were 37.12 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2021. Emissions are projected to have risen 0.9 percent in 2022 to 37.5 GtCO₂ - their highest ever level. Since 1990, global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent. The two biggest contributors to global emissions are China and the United States, who produced 11.47 and 5.01 GtCO₂ in 2021, respectively.

Of course it is an estimation dumbo. Just like the others that you don't want to admit to. Jovial Monk wrote on Nov 6^th, 2023 at 8:02pm: Year 1 high school chemistry. Wow. A true intellectual.

Have you worked out the difference between mega and giga, Sore End? What other aspects of the very complex global climate system are not in the models?? How much do volcanos emit, including unidentified, unmapped undersea volcanos?

You do need SOME sort of intelligence to understand some concepts. I doubt Sore End really understands: Rock CO2—68megatons Man’s emissions: 37+ Gigatons.

You mean like correlation is not causation? Why don't you tell us your reasoning on why the Downwelling Longwave Radiation is declining instead of rising as per CO2 theory.
