So what. Do you not disagree or do you think the tiny percentage attributed to man is rising the temp and the gigantic percentage that the earth and oceans toss in don't? If you believe that then you are more lost than even I though.

I did and you didn't like the answer, so I have no interest in answering your question, but you are welcome to do your own research and find your own answer....though I am gonna bet you already made up your own answer to your own question and believe it to be correct.

We have been adding more CO2 than the planet is use to normally absorbing, and those figures were per year. It's really not that hard.....

Who says the planet can't absorb it? You? Co2 is nor was not some static number in the atmosphere and never will be. You make no sense at all.

The oceans do not produce CO2, they absorb it, but as sea temperatures rise that stored CO2 is released into the atmosphere....Yet another feedback effect of warming.

  1. Oceans
    • As the ocean absorbs CO2 it becomes more acidic, reducing the amount of CO2 it can further absorb.
    • As the temperature of the ocean increases this reduces its capacity to absorb CO2.
    Climate feedbacks - Met Office

Then why do you folks blame man? Sounds like the ocean is causing problems according to you. Or are you saying the tiny percentage man contributes is warming up the oceans all over the world? LOL

Do you ever think before you post? Humans add more CO2 than the natural carbon sinks (including the oceans) can absorb...How do you come up with me saying that the oceans are causing the problem is beyond me...I'll simplify it for you....Nature takes care of the CO2 from natural causes, but most of the CO2 caused by human activity remains in the atmosphere and is added to every year.

Prove it. Your own link you put out a few pages back makes your entire argument sound so ridiculous it's hilarious.

Humans aren't natural?

"29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons"

That is what you posted. The 29 is man's contribution. so your telling me the earth has a limit of absorbing 750 gigatons and that is that but it can't absorb 779 gigatons? LOL
