Then how do you explain your numbers...You're right. It's over 99%
From Scientific consensus on climate change - Wikipedia
A 2012 analysis of published research on global warming and climate change between 1991 and 2012 found that of the 13,950 articles in peer-reviewed journals, only 24 rejected anthropogenic global warming.[149] A follow-up analysis looking at 2,258 peer-reviewed climate articles with 9,136 authors published between November 2012 and December 2013 revealed that only one of the 9,136 authors rejected anthropogenic global warming.[150] His 2015 paper on the topic, covering 24,210 articles published by 69,406 authors during 2013 and 2014 found only five articles by four authors rejecting anthropogenic global warming. Over 99.99% of climate scientists did not reject AGW in their peer-reviewed research.[151]
James Lawrence Powell reported in 2017 that using rejection as the criterion of consensus, five surveys of the peer-reviewed literature from 1991 to 2015, including several of those above, combine to 54,195 articles with an average consensus of 99.94%.[152] In November 2019, his survey of over 11,600 peer-reviewed articles published in the first seven months of 2019 showed that the consensus had reached 100%.[2]
A survey conducted in 2021 found that of a random selection of 3,000 papers examined from 88,125 peer-reviewed studies related to climate that were published since 2012, only 4 were sceptical about man-made climate change.[153]
Depending on expertise, a 2021 survey of 2780 Earth scientist showed that between 91% to 100% agreed human activity is causing climate change. Among climate scientists, 98.7% agreed, a number that grows to 100% when only the climate scientists with high level of expertise are counted (20+ papers published).[4]

Hey... I liked his made up number as it just increased the amount of CO2 absorbed according to him from 3 trillion trees @ 48 lbs or 72 billion tons of Co2 absorbed to
127.632 billion tons of Co2 by 5.1 trillion trees, thus more than enough to cover all the Co2.
So you add up the below and get Net of emitted of 800 gigaton But 788 absorbed, so using Crick's number there are 127 billion tons absorbed...more than enough!
I keep thinking about the story about the little kid that told the authorities who were puzzled on how to remove a truck stuck on an bridge.."why don't you let the air out of the tires"???
I remember reading a story about a truck driver that was driving cross country and stopped along his route because the tractor trailer got stuck underneath of a low bridge. The height clearance for the bridge was something like the 14′ 0” and the truck was 14′ 6.” The traffic behind the truck got very backed up because the truck could not move. Eventually, the police arrived and looked for situations to ‘un-stick’ the stuck truck. For a while they worked on a solution to no avail, finally a child in one of the cars from the traffic back-up asked “Why don’t they just let the air out of the tires?” While this seemed like such a silly question from a child, it also presented a creative solution to the problem
Can we just let the air out of the tires? | all
