The relationships between atmospheric CO2ppmv increase, the del C13 signatures of current atmospheric (and oceanic (dissolved) «CO2 ″), the del C13 signatures of oil, coal, and
wood, and the estimates of anthropogenic CO2
production since 1850, all indicate that the ~ 110ppmv atmospheric CO2 increase since then has a «non-natural», i.e. anthropogenic source, even though the biosphere is absorbing approximately 55 % of the
total anthropogenic CO2
production.
Forest plantations now cover more than 187 million hectares, less than 5 percent of
total forested area, but account for 20 percent of current world
wood production.
