It looks like you have not much to say, it looks like you agree with most of what I said, with minor nitpicking which is incorrect:

"It is more than that. There are 6+ GT of coal mined a year. That doesn't include oil production. Now, I am sure you have a firm grasp of compound interest."

It looks that you are questioning the accuracy of estimations done by specialized government institution. I am sure they counted all carbon correctly, in strict accord with known fuel types and properties. For example, 6GT of mined coal would not necessarily produce 6GT of C after it burns out, etc.

".. massive coincidences that the LIA ended just after the Industrial Revolution started to get off the ground and fossil fuels started to be exploited in significant amounts."

What significant amounts? Could you assign a number that ended LIA?

"You are very incorrect. Ocean bottom water is know[n] as one of the largest carbon sinks. That is assuming they haven't forgotten it since I took Chemical Oceanography."

Then let me ask you: what is the ground of your belief that the oceans are still sinking the carbon dioxide? Is it related to works of Takahashi by the chance?
