Fiddling with Volcanic CO2 | The Pipeline

Fiddling with Volcanic CO2 | The Pipeline - Clarice Feldman
"...This year through October, there were 67 confirmed eruptions from 66 different volcanos around the world. This is not an unusual amount of volcanic activity...
The volume of volcanic CO2 emissions has been substantially underestimated. 
Because naturally-emitted CO2 and Co2 emitted as a result of human activity have the very same isotopes, it is impossible to distinguish the source and has not been accurately assessed for a number of reasons...
A recent study...indicates that CO2 emissions from volcanos and other natural causes are six times higher than man-made sources...
According to a new study, the claim that increases in atmospheric CO2 are driven exclusively by humans relies on a made-up, disparate accounting model, with the residence time for natural emissions three to four years (which is consistent with actual observations), but CO2 from human sources is claimed to have a residence time of 50 to over 100 years. [emphasis, links added]
The 15 to 30 times longer residence time for human emissions is an imaginary conceptualization that is wholly inconsistent with (1) bomb tests (1963) and (2) seasonal CO2 variations found in real-world observations. Human emissions account for under 5 percent of the total from all sources, natural and anthropogenic...

Garbage in; garbage out. To me, that's the data and how it's crunched.
