we are responsible for only 3.4% of the total atmospheric CO2 which is only 0.04%

Not true. The level of CO2 has gone from 0.028% to 0.04% since the 1800's. Here's a depiction of natural CO2 fluctuations:

You can see that there are fluctuations from about 200 to 300 corresponding to a temperature rise of about 10C. Thus some of the current rise can be attributed to natural warming after the Little Ice Age, Assuming a 1C natural rise, that would be 10ppm rise in CO2.

So the question is where did the rest of the 120ppm rise come from? How come CO2 is still rising 2-3 ppm per year? The answer is in the data:

This data comes from simple economic data sources of cement production, but mainly fossil fuel burning: http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/emis/tre_glob.html

what isn’t true about my statement? Nature and man combined are responsible for 0.04% of the total atmospheric CO2- your post did nothing to state otherwise- just to back up what I just said

[[So the question is where did the rest of the 120ppm rise come from? How come CO2 is still rising 2-3 ppm per year?]]

CO2 rises AFTER warming happens (as is even proven by your graph- and other graphs on internet- and research- CO2 does NOT cause rising temps- it’s quite the opposite- rising temps cause rising CO2

Man is still only reposnible for 0.0037% of the TOTAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2 levels- this isn’t soemthi9gn I’m making up- it’s a fact that can be verified In research papers- Man pumps out just 3.4% of 0.04% of the TOTAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2 levels- 3.4% of 0.04% = 0.0037% of the TOTAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2 levels- The rest MUST be naturally occurring- 99.9963% is naturally occurring- These figures are solid-

CO2 rise and fall follows the rise and fall in temperature by up to 800 years.
