mammals to climate warming because they spend most of their
lives on

does the 15ppm consider CO2 contributed from deforestation (which as this becomes more extensive against the growing population, the atmosphere breaks well beyond saturation point as trees can not convert CO2 fast enough to combat the production), the burning of peat, the likely disturbances and resulting CO2 emitted from deep

life forms from the ocean bed reaching the atmosphere) the CO2 deposits from extensive farming, the population of all
mammals exhaling CO2, chemical productions with CO2 bi-products and all other man related processes that give off CO2?
