There are so, so , so many different things that give off carbon compounds, that it is very hard to estimate the quantity.
We do know that people and people's things are a very small fraction of total carbon emiissions compared to volcanoes, animal emissions, and burning oil and tar pits that have been burning for hundreds of years. Not even close, the largest quantity of 'greenhouse' gas in the atomosphere is water vapor: humidity.
Without these gases in the atmosphere, nearly all plants would die and all the land animals would be burnt to death by the Sun's heat. (That includes you and me!)

What does ''carbon footprint'' refer to?
The amount of carbon dioxide a person produces
What is the difination of carbon footeprint?
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the use of fossil fuels, such as oil and gas. Each person, industry and group has its own carbon footprint.
What does the term carbon footprint refer to?

What does the phrase carbon footprint mean?
It means how much fossil fuels you use in your daily life.Each person has a carbon footprint of how much waste they produce.
What does consumption have to do with a person or nation's carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the measure of how much carbon you and your activities and lifestyle cost the planet. High-consumption nations and lifestyles affect their carbon footprint. Developed countries use far more energy to run their businesses, transport and the personal lifestyles of their citizens. As energy now comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), their carbon footprint is high.
What is part of a person carbon footprint?
Chemically, it is how much CH4 they cause to be burnt into CO2.
Which part of a person's carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide?
That's all of it - what you exhale PLUS all the fuel burned to support you.
Why is Australia one of the top carbon polluting countries?
It's not. China is the top polluting country, closely followed by the US. Australia is the top polluter, per capita, which means that any one person in Australia is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than one person in China. The average person in Australia has a bigger carbon footprint than the average Chinese.
