Human emissions account for 37 gigatons per annum. ......
Climate change and global warming are both total nonsense and drivel concepts.
I'm happy, Although slightly bewildered, By the chance to take this debate. I'll address, Right off the bat, That there are a few minor issues with the opinion of the opposing debator. He starts with some minor claims such as: Volcanoes release 1000 times more Co2 then humans could hope to release. This is. . . Absurdly inaccurate. Current estimates by the United States Geological Survey, Which tracks all global Volcanic activity, Estimates the total amount of Co2 released by volcanoes per year to be 0. 44 gigatons per annum. Human emissions account for 37 gigatons per annum. Natural emissions, About 15 Gigatons per annum. Sulfur and other atmospheric conditions are temporary, As can be seen by the "mini ice age" which lasted for seven. Greenhouse gasses, As far as we can tell, Are nearly permament. Humanity is not a small presence, Even as our individual presence is small. A slime mold on a ball, No matter how large each cell compared to the ball, Effects the surface. According to a recent article by Scientific American, Human CO2 emissions are roughly equal to emissions as burning down the entirety of Africa, Every single year. Or an equivalent amount of CO2 emissions produced by 1700 Mt St. Helena eruptions, Again, Per annum. Greenhouse gasses are trace, Yes, But trace gasses, Including CO2, Do not need high concentrations to reach dangerous effects in an atmosphere that goes up for 70 kilometers and traps gigajoules of heat from the sun. Greenhouse gasses, As well as albedo, Are driving forces for temperature on the surface. As far as well can tell, The greenhouse gasses are higher then they were 10 million years before, As obtained by rock and ice core samples. It's been well established by modelling and atmospheric infrared experimentation, That most of the Human emissions account for 37 gigatons per annum. Natural emissions, About 15 Gigatons per annum.

It's been well established by modelling and atmospheric infrared experimentation, That most of the climate shifts on earth, Ranging from the ice age, To the Jurassic era, When the arctic had a temperate climate, Were the result of CO2. Doubling the amount of these trace gasses is not a light matter.
