Natural sources of carbon dioxide are more than 20 times greater than sources due to human activity4.

2. Very little of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is due to human activity4.
3. Analyses of ice cores indicate that during an ice age 500 million years ago carbon dioxide levels were ten times higher than now14.
