The climate change issue has plenty of legitimate scientific debates. However, whether the increase in atmospheric CO2 is less than, equal to, or greater than what humans have produced is measurable and should not be controversial. The increase is two-thirds or less of what humans have produced from burning fossil fuels and manufacturing cement: Nature has been a net absorber of CO2.
