Human sourced CO2 is no longer the primary source of CO2.
Last year, CO2 went up about 4ppm, which is more than double the average annual rise for the previous ten or fifteen years.
This added CO2 obviously is coming from permafrost thawing. This feedback has really kicked in, and it is likely to accelerate.

Dec 6, 2016Last year, CO2 went up about 4ppm, which is more than double the average annual rise for the previous ten or fifteen years.
This added CO2 obviously is coming from permafrost thawing. This feedback has really kicked in, and it is likely to accelerate.
That is, soon we will see annual CO2 increases of 6ppm, 8ppm, and maybe even 10ppm.
Even at 4ppm, we will see 500ppm CO2 by 2040, and 700ppm by 2100.
The computations of the models are not taking into account accelerating feedbacks.
A 3C rise by 2100 is unrealistically optimistic, IMO.
