Combining the results of three studies
Some of that 12% atmospheric co2 that carbon dates to the last few hundred years will also be from natural sources like wildfires etc.
Stats show less wildfires nowadays than in the past but they destroy huge amounts of growing land and likely liberate carbon in the soil too.
Using carbon dating you can’t separate co2 from Forrest fires from co2 from fossil fuels. .
