Of the 745mt of CO2 released into the atmosphere each year, just 7mt is the result of man. That's about 0.94% of the total.

3mt of that 7mt is absorbed by the oceans(0.40%of total/43%of man-made CO2), 2mt remains in the atmosphere(0.27%of total/28.5%of man-made) and 2mt is taken up by other means, mostly plant life.

The United Nations has a project underway in Cameroon to release HUGE amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from Lake Nyos. What effect will this have on global warming? Oh wait, I'm not allowed to ask that as this is a UN project. Never mind, move along, nothing to see here.
