Excellent as in there i find a comparison between natural vs. manmade co2/methane etc. for the first time.
It is also clear that the co2 level is rising as the absorption cannot match the output. Some or most of that output is clearly man made, as we convert co2 that has been bound through millions of years in coal and oil - co2 that after all was taken out of the atmosphere and biosphere during that time - into co2 gas again.
Again - does it matter what triggered global warming?
If it is happening, any cut now in co2 production will not help much as the development has been going on for at least a hundred years.

As I've (We've) stated before, CO2 & methane are not the problem(s). Our influence is not the problem. Obviously it must be something else.
audio-kraut said:The question is - why are not more attempts made to convert from a non renewable resource of a mobile and stationary energy storage medium to a renewable resource - after all, with china and india joining the market as consumers for oil the price can only go one way, and the resources go the opposite way.
Now - while oil is still relatively cheap - should be the time to invest in those alternatives.
When the oil price is at an premium in the 100$ range and oil getting scarcer - where then will be the funds coming from to invest in a push away from nonrenewable respources? Those funds will be needed to keep an economie just barely running on oil alive - with nothing left for investing into a turn over.
I agree that renewable energy is a good thing to fund research in. However, most renewable sources are still going to contribute to your "CO2 Problem", whatever it turns out to be.
If renewable energy is made profitable, it would be readily adapted. Until it is, I don't see many people or corporations funding it's research as fully as some would like.
If there is no money in it, it's not going to be as well funded, as much, as if there is.
