No, but you are looking at the total gross emission.

I am talking what is the net net persisting co2.

We aren’t arguing it isn’t increasing, we are quantifying for the public how much.

That is the problem right? We are increasing it? so how much, really is it?

Almost nothing you can measure. I remember the guy in the video said you needed 3-5 years just to be certain because it is so small it is in in the margin of error.

Remember, we are arguing we don’t have to reduce emissions but you are trying to quantify how much we are emitting, that doesn’t matter.

ah, I think that 100ppm is the net increase, not the human contributed portion.

You have to take volcanoes, forest fires, etc.. into account. It is a fraction of that too.

The earth has been warming since the end of the last ice age and we are still coming out of it. CO2 increasing has natural components to it.

There's no question that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing from year to year. As I understand it, it is possible to tell that this is from fossil fuel burning because the increased CO2 does not contain carbon-14.

It sounds like the arguments on your video are bogus.
