The evidence is conclusive that recent rises in CO2 concentrations (from
280ppm in 1900 to 320ppm now) are entirely caused by human activity. We
can see that CO2 levels have only varied between 270 and 290ppm for a
good 10,000 years prior to this point. Carbon dating the CO2 in the
atmosphere shows that the recent additions of CO2 (i.e. the change from
~280ppm to 320ppm) are from the burning of fossil fuels.

More likely, the increase is due to the decrease in forests which absorb
the CO2 and release oxygen in exchange. Still it can be traced back to
human activity, but not due to emissions...the decrease in the scrubbing
capacity due to deforestation is much greater than the small percentage
increase in emissions due to human activity. Same is likely true of
global warming.

It isn't scrubbing and it isn't trees. You need to look a little closer at
the science that's coming out of all this study of global warming. The vast
majority of CO2 is stored elsewhere, and the problem is that that natural
capacity to absorb excess and store it is being depleted. And yes, the vast
majority of this is due to human emissions.

1) What percentage of annual CO2 production is human caused and what portion
is natural?

2) What are the short-term and long-term effect of CO2 concentrations?

Human production is around 3% of annual planetary CO2 production.

Ice core records going back hundreds of thousands of years plus other
evidence show that global temperature closely correlates with CO2
levels.

What has this got to do with aviation? Well, most of us GA people make
SUV drivers look like fuel misers.

Don't think so. SUVs have us outnumbered by what, several tens of thousands
to one?

This is of course how I personally rationalise my use of planes that get
half the gas mileage of a Hummer!

I stopped rationalizing these things when I actually started answering
myself.

In that case, we need to use guerilla tactics.

NOTE: The warming PRECEDES the CO2 increases by about 800 years.

"Everyone" is in a panic and that will redound to pilots.

What's worse, the questions being asked as wrong if not backasswards.

Under normal circumstances.
So if this is the case already that means things are already headed
down hill.

Very good!!

Follow-up: What is the most common greeenhouse gas and what is the breakdown
on human vs. natural sources?

Yes, with a rather large delay; IOW, warming CAUSES CO2.
