Humans produce a small amount of all co2 I claimed that it was 3.5% but this is indispute.

Global Warming
January 20, 2007
We’ve been trying and trying to see if there really is compelling evidence that humans are the cause of global warming, and we can’t. With most contrarian positions we’ve published, whether they regarded DDT, GMO’s, Chemicals, Recycling, Nuclear Power, The Hydrogen Hoax, Transportation, or Suburban Sprawl, it’s been pretty easy to allow differing points of view to be expressed - and remain a passionate environmentalist. But are global warming theories, like these other issues, really still open to debate?
. . . and the scientists we’ve questioned have quickly either given up trying to explain, saying the issues were too complex for a lay person to understand, or they abandoned their initial position and acknowleged that we aren’t really sure whether or not global warming is a product of human industrial activity. humans only produce about 5% of the yearly CO2 that spews into the atmosphere,
In the June 26th editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, a professor of atmospheric science at MIT, Richard S. Lindzen, opined "There is no ‘consensus’ on Global Warming.” In his essay, he says “Nonscientists generally do not want to bother with understanding the science. Claims of consensus relieve policy types, environmental advocates and politicians of any need to do so.”
Global warming is an environmental challenge of potentially cataclysmic proportions. But that doesn’t justify pretending the theory - that global warming is caused by human-produced CO2 - is beyond debate.
