re: "Over the last 150 years, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have risen from 280 to nearly 380 parts per million (ppm). The fact that this is due virtually entirely to human activities is so well established that one rarely sees it questioned. Yet it is quite reasonable to ask how we know this."

Has there been any calculation of the natural increase in atmospheric CO2? Surely there must be some. The energy released by the sun has increased about .3% in the past couple hundred years (most in the past century). Doesn't Henry's Law say that the amount of CO2 dissolved in water decreases with increasing temperature (greater solar irradience leads to greater global temperatures, which leads to higher temperatures in the earths lakes and oceans, which leads to a lower solubility for gasses like CO2, meaning CO2 exits the oceans and enters the atmosphere)?
