Are you saying that we don’t accurately measure CO2 in the atmosphere? NOAA CO2 measuring stations include: Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, Trinidad Head in California, Tutulia in American Samoa, and the South Pole. I’m confident there are more. Which ones do not measure accurately and why the spike in recent years? If the increasing trend is natural then what natural processes are causing it? Think 140 BILLION gallons of gasoline burned per year in the US alone just to power vehicles not counting the diesel and heavy oil used to generate electricity and the diesel fuel to power trucks and construction and farm equipment. And that’s just from fossil fuels. What about agricultural field burning, man caused forest fires and what ever other human activity adds to the CO2 load in the atmosphere. Is there no chance that all of this would significantly increase CO2 levels? Is there no way to draw a relationship between CO2 level increase and the warming trend we are seeing or do you reject this too?
