   How do you know that warm oceans emission exactly match cold oceans   
   absorption all the time ? How do you know that there are no   
   fluctuations, no long term trends ? You don't.   
    From the 13C/12C ratio, we know that only 10% of the atmospheric carbon   
   dioxyde comes from fossil fuels. Only a fraction of what you believe.
