Andy, there is not 96.5% of the CO2 being created naturally every year. In fact, other than from the fact of the oceans heating, nearly 100% of the created CO2 is from our burning of fossil fuels. There is a naturally
occurring flux of CO2 emitted and absorbed every year. You can see it in the graphs of the CO2 that are collected worldwide. But the increase from 280 ppm to the present 400+ ppm is almost totally one hundred percent created.
That is factually, not correct. The increase in PPM, is assumed to be man made, not a fact.
Moreover, the actual creation of CO2, is roughly 96.5%, from natural sources.
That is a 'fact'. You can deny that, but you are simply disqualifying yourself from the discussion in doing so.
Trying to tie the increase in PPM to human CO2, is based on one single, and fundamentally flawed assumption.
They are assuming that prior to the industrial revolution, that CO2 creation, and absorption, was in perfect balance and harmony. You can see this assumption, in all the eco-freak-out literature.

They assume the green arrows. That land created CO2 is emitted at the exact same amount as land absorbed CO2.
Same with the sea. Same amount emitted as absorbed.
With this assumed basis, then every amount of additional CO2 created by humans, magically topples the perfect balance of nature.
Thus, all of the additional CO2 in the atmosphere.... MUST.... based on the assumed magical perfect balance theory, be due to human activity which screwed up the magic balance.
Of course this assumption is entirely false, and is even proven false by the very data that the eco-freak-out people use to justify their position.
The irony is that, eco-freak-out people use historic CO2 levels to claim our levels are high. Yet if we look at the exact same data, over a longer time frame, such as this example above, we can clearly see that CO2 levels have been both higher, and lower, than current day.
And crucially to my point, the one consistent aspect of CO2 levels is..... they are constantly changing. Up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down.
But that's impossible, if the CO2 emissions and absorption rates, are in perfect balance, which is required to blame all atmosphere increases on human created CO2.
In other words... all that Eco-freak-out crap... it's all BS. Total crap.
