I do. That's why the graph was measuring emissions, not total CO2 in the atmosphere. So again, humans have added roughly 70 ppm to the atmosphere since 1960. Am I reading the graph wrong?
No, just the graph you're reading is deceiving you.
It goes from 4000 metric tons to 6500 metric tons.
What you don't understand is in the scope of physical volume at the level the atmosphere is measured at, 2500 metric tons is an astronomically small amount.
It's like you have $100 million dollars and adding 2500 pennies to it and then making a graph between $400 dollars and $700 dollars and show what the curve the 2500 pennies added to your worth would be, and then making a big deal about it because the graph shows a straight fast incline.
You're being bamboozled by tricks. It looks extreme, but you still only added 2500 pennies to $100 million dollars.

We've added 70 ppm of CO2 in the past 100 years, right?
And the global emissions are increasing with an increase in population.
We're at ~400ppm. With combined natural and human contributions, we're expected to start losing coral, plankton, mollusks, and shellfish in 50 years.
