Your surgery is warming the planet, a little

I’m sure you are aware of climatedepot (.org I think is the site)- they have tons of credible scientific papers, tests, research et- Marc Morano- the fella who runs the site used to work with Senator James Inhoffe who was the climate dude who gathered vast amounts of info showing climate change is not man’s fault- Morano’s site basically puts all the info and more in one site- Yes, some of it is inflammatory, however a great deal of it is provided by credible science and research- the stuff the current administration and ilk is keeping from the public

[[But the evidence I have looked at links the cement production (cooking limestone), fossil burning and deforestation to the rise in the atmosphere]]

You could just as well cite the rise in soda drinking in the south to the rise in CO2 In the atmosphere since CO2 began rising faster after the first soda fountaisn were invented

[[But it would be a strange coincidence the volcanic activity happened to uptick with the industrial revolution.]]

Well soemthign certainly upticked millions of years ago (if you believe in evolutionary timelines) to have caused 1500 ppm and later to have caused near 400 ppm

Hadn't looked there for a couple years, but I read Morano's pieces back in the mid 2000's when i was learning the details. Here's link from there on CO2: http://www.climatedepot.com/2015/03/29/global-co2-emissions-have-been-flat-for-four-years-what-does-this-mean-for-the-future/ It points to NoTricksZone which is fairly well produced site. The article discusses the human emissions and the natural uptake of those emissions.

My only quibble is that it it is a little misleading to depict the natural uptake as a percentage of emissions. What happens is that nature is always soaking up the "extra" CO2 whether we emitted any new CO2 or not. Right now there is probably about 100ppm "extra", a portion of which is being sequestered in the ocean or biosphere each year.

Thank you for that! I knew it would be perfect!
