I just want to know where it came from. He says we only contribute 0.12% of the CO2. Does that mean that the natural causes have increased by 20%? Or is it more plausible that we have bumped it up, and we are responsible for somewhat 30% of CO2 levels?
I am not disagreeing with you, and I am not saying the starting point must be "zero". I am saying graphs that don't have "zero" as a baseline throw up a red flag to me.
