OK, 80% of the Earth's surface is covered with water which, by the way is the largest producer of CO2 on our planet... by FAR! Of the remaining 20%, rain forests take up 5% and are the second largest producers of CO2. Antarctica takes up 4%, deserts another 3%, uninhabitable mountain ranges, another 3%. So only about 5% of the Earth's surface (and I got these figures from the discovery channel) is inhabitable, and of that only 1% is industrialized.
So are you really going to tell me that 1% of the Earths surface produces enough CO2 to off set the GLOBAL balance? With the seas, and the rain forests, and volcanoes producing billions if not trillions of tons of CO2 a year, that 1% adds enough to boost everything over the top... even with 5% being CO2 filtering rain forest?
How can this logically or mathematically make sense to... anybody?
