    the source for human greenhouse gas emissions is bonafide - I missed ferro's reference to your link
    happy to be corrected


    But, as i was saying, where is the science? Where is Lindzen, et al, writing papers on this? Where is the peer review on ferro's largely unsubstantiated "analysis".
    After 50+ years of climate science, none of the denial scientists - the dozen or so of them out of tens of thousands, has cottoned onto this theory of yours and demonstrated that natural emissions are not in balance?

    Meanwhile actual science, via ice cores, has shown "atmospheric CO2 concentrations were about 260–280 ppmv immediately before industrial emissions began and did not vary much from this level during the preceding 10,000 years.[27" One study suggested that sometime in that 10,000 years CO2 levels may have got as high as, wow, 300ppm, but that extravagant variation is disputed, because of uncertainties in that study.

    So we have had stable CO2 levels for 10,000 years, not higher than around 300ppm, probably not higher than 280ppm.

    Now, with man made emissions, we've got up to 400ppm in just 120 odd years.

    And you guys are splitting hairs over annual differences you think you have calculated.

    Methinks we have another beat up about nothing. The natural carbon cycle is in balance, but not instantaneously. It does not surprise me if there is some degree of inter annual variability.
