Appromimately 186 Billion tons of Carbon Dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere each year. Of this total over 96% is from natural sources.
1) 90 Billion tons are emitted by the Oceans.
2) 90 Billion tons are emitted by Volcanoes and decaying Plants.
3) 6 Billion tons are the result of Human activity.

I always laugh when I see films showing those huge clouds coming from coal fired power plants and the reference to Carbon Dixide pollution.

Most people don't relize that the clouds you see from a Coal-Fired Power Plant are just that-clouds. Power Plants use steam too drive the turbines which generate Electricity, steam must be cooled and condensed to water to reuse it to make more steam.
The actual exhaust emissions come from the smoke stack, which is the tall skinny tower. Because modern technology makes it possible to remove much of the fly ash and sulfur before releasing smokestack gases into the air, smokestack emissions today are often almost invisible.

Most people don't realize that Carbon Dioxide from all Coal burning worldwide comprises only 0.013% of Greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.
