“The isotope data are changing ratio in the direction expected from fossil fuel burning. So what? A change to the ratio must be in one direction or the other, and the ratio could be expected to alter when atmospheric CO2 concentration is changing.”
The extra CO2 is coming from fossil fuels, and Jeb is not quite right in describing it as the “generally accepted view.” It is about as ironclad as anything in Earth science.
For you to be right, you need to answer:
Where is the CO2 from fossil fuels going?
And where is the exact amount we would expect from burning fossil fuels coming from?
How is this replacement happening?
Why are the isotope ratios exactly what we would expect from CO2?
Why are oxygen levels decreasing in the atmosphere?
Why does the atmospheric concentration track with the amount of FF burned?
I’m sure you could write 50,000 brilliant words of circular logic explaining your “theories.” I’ll tell you what, do what every other nutjob out there does, type them up single spaced on your Underwood and mail the whole thing to the New York Times.
