Current attempts by national governments worldwide to control industrial CO2 emissions following the recommendations of the IPCC could be viewed within the scientific paradigm as the projection of a large scale experiment on the earth's climate system to validate the hypothesis that anthropogenic CO2 emissions through the burning of fossil fuels and land use changes (inter alia) are a major factor driving climate change.

Therefore, it is possible that all of the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and all of the change to the 13C: 12C atmospheric isotope change were caused by the anthropogenic emission that induced the unknown, natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) effect that caused the observed change to the 12C: 13C isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2.

Simply, it is possible that none of the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and none of the change to the 13C: 12C atmospheric isotope change were caused by anthropogenic emission but were due to the unknown, natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) effect that caused most of the change to the 12C: 13C isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2.
