Humans 10 Pg C. But it's the old story, constantly muddied. The soil emission is C that was recently taken from the air by photosynthesis. It's just part of the cycling of C between atmosphere and biosphere. The human 10 Pg is new C added to the system. I think it's 98 Pg CO2, or about 30 Pg C. Humans 10 Pg C.

Again, the human contribution to the system is still TINY!!!The unknowns and error bars swallow the human contribution.You and others are silly touting it as a huge deal.
