it's about 2.3% over the entire' industrial age' If I got my facts right- natural cuases such as methane gas from poopin cows, volcanos, undersea emissions from natural vents etc make up the rest- 98%

You don't have your facts right. The primary cause of the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration since the mid-1800s is human activities (this is easily verifiable via multiple methods). This increasing atmospheric CO2 will affect Earth's radiative balance, and altering Earth's radiative balance will affect climate. Though there are possible feedback scenarios that could cause a cooling trend, there is no indication that such feedbacks are operation to counter the warming trend that is caused by the alteration of Earth's radiative balance caused by increasing atmospheric CO2.

How much of the recent CO2 increase is due to human activities?

How do we know that recent CO2 increases are due to human activities?

you sir don't have your facts stright- CO2 isn't even the polutant that doesn the most damage- CO2 is infact insignificant compared to emisions of polutants from natural sources- You've been fed a line of bull on the CO2 issue and it's been proven scientifically Sulfer agents breaking down cause ozone depletion- not CO2- not nearly the extent of sulpher and other agents- but nice try- Perhaps read the links that person gave you a few posts back- they have the facts- if you need more- my site has plenty of links- As I stated correctly- human involvement is near ZERO percent, so infetesimally small as to be a non issue.
