Im not saying that man isnt unbalancing the earth. And the methane issue is very interesting. Its a dynamic planet, with or without man.
flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47 terawatts
173,000 terawatts falls on earth from the sun
Mans consumption is 15 terawatts
water vapor accounts for up to 95% of the greenhouse effect
Anthropogenic CO2 additions comprise 3.207% of greenhouse gas concentrations, (ignoring water vapor).
Putting it all together:
total human greenhouse gas contributions
add up to about 0.28% of the greenhouse effect. A good number to remember when talking about carbon tax
