bill,
Your link was pretty dumb.
Let me get your argument straight. We burn fossil fuels, which releases 7 Gt of carbon each year. This carbon does not accumulate in the atmosphere.
Then, the oceans outgas about 3.5 Gt of carbon which actually does get added to the atmosphere.
Where is the human carbon going?
Where is the oceanic carbon coming from?
Oh, I almost forgot, the ocean started producing this carbon in about 1850, after 800,000 years of lower CO2 concentrations. The ocean has increased this output of carbon at about the same rate as fossil fuel burning for the last 150 years when ice core records show a 100ppm increase typically takes 5,000 to 20,000 years. (That’s a tricky ocean!)
Have I got your argument right? Let’s not even publish this. Let’s just carve it on a fricking stone monument.
