We don't add to the Co2 levels.. This is why it goes down without humans doing anything, this is why it will go up, even if humans 100% stopped producing any man made Co2.

As nature/sun, etc continue to naturally warm us up, more Co2 will naturally be releases. This happens because as the sun does it's job, ice melts, more light can hit the ocean, life starts and more and more Co2 is produced. As this happens more and more, the under ocean ice sheets thin out, releasing even more Co2 and methane into the air.

Without humans, we would have a lot more cows. And methane, is far more dangerous than Co2. One methane burp from the ocean and a single bolt of lightening can spark a match you haven't ever seen before.
