Humans produce 6-40 billion tons of carbon emissions per year (depending on source of study). That is 6-40 GT. Per Fundamentals of Geobiology by
Andrew H. Knoll, Don E. Canfield, and Kurt O. Konhauser; the atmosphere possesses 835 GT of carbon. The living biomass on the land has 1,000 GT. The dead biomass on the land has 1,200 GT. The ocean possesses 38,400 GT. This is not counting carbon bound up in mineral form. That weighs in at 75,000,000 GT. To put it bluntly, the planet laughs at human emissions. Trees eat that for breakfast.
Now how active or inactive the sun is, how that effects our magnetism, our physical distance from the sun (it is being posited that our orbit alters shape) …I put far more weight into all of that than man-made global warming.
Also, I’d like to say it is amazing to actually be able to post this and feel like I won’t be run out of town, haha.
