Humanity burns 1.47 trillion gallons of liquid hydrocarbons a year. That's 181 gallons each for 8.1 Billion souls. It sounds a reasonable number.
A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.8 lbs. When combusted 20 lbs of CO2 is produced,
1.47 trillion gal/yr*20 lbs co2/gal = 29.4 trillion pounds of CO2/yr. -13.3 Gigatons
Volcanoes make 1 GT a year on an active year. Forest Fires make 2 GT a year.
Anyone who denies anthropogenic effects on climate is a fool. There would be no Oxygen in the air if photosynthesis by plant life hadn't occured. Humans are changing the balance. We crossed 400 PPM CO2 in the atmosphere in 2010 after Mother Nature had it regulated to under that for 800,000 years. Today we are at 430 ppm and climbing, we increased 30ppm in 15 years. CO2 absorbs infrared radiation, more of it in the air, more heat absorption. The industrial revolution coincided with the increased slope.
Drill Baby Drill Burn Baby Burn is going to fry this planet like an egg on drugs in a pan for our descendants.
I don't always stay cool. But when I do math helps.
Now do your self a favor and calculate how much CO2 is absorbed by the entirety of Earth's Trees, Plants and Fauna .....and then expelling oxygen.....
and while you are at it .....Calculate how much global oxygen rates increase.......
you are being lied too......
