I'll be a hundred and ten in the not too distant future, the old ship's got a few blotches, but she's still on course!

Carbon Dioxide Sources

1. Mineral water with gas
2. More than 6 billion people breathing and farting
3. Animals breathing and farting
4. The burning of fossil fuel (coal, gas, oil) for heating and transport.
5. Removal of forests with photo synthesis capability

In a natural cycle the co2 would be absorbed by trees, in theory forming new fuel (wood, coal, oil). However, forests become less, and the co2 which we're using stems not from a cycle but is taken from reservoirs. This is a straight-forward process, not a cycle. I don't think that this can be sustained for a long period of time, it'll rather lead to the collaps of the system "earth".
