What correction did you make? Is the chart wrong? 62 gigatons of CO2 from soil erosion/oxidation 5 gigatons from fossil fuel combustion If this were code paths and milliseconds, where would you start? I need to save 5ms, do I go for a

Since you've arrived to share your opinion, let me ask you which sounds easier: a) Reduce erosion by 10% b) reduce fossil fuel combustion by 100%

That would also be wrong. Earth is a buffer system, not something easily tipped into runaway Armageddon.
