Shorter version?
If the residence time of CO2 is really (for example) 100 years, then we should have a lot more than 400 ppm in the atmosphere right now.
Anthropogenic CO2 supposedly counts for about +6 ppm per year (when counting fuel burned). Over the last fifty years, thats a good solid +300 ppm in an atmosphere thats only seen an 80 ppm increase.
