Natural CO2 goes into the atmosphere is balanced by equal amounts of natural CO2 going out. That's how it always have been. This is not the same for man-made C02 production. There is no pre-designed way to absorb man-made CO2. An extra 3% going in not being compensated by 3% going out, and the balance is upset.
As far I remember they said that this isn't enough for making the climate change significant different in comparison to what would happen anyway. But, however, it has been a long time since I saw this, at about the time Al Gore has published his own stuff, so I don't remember everything 100%.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
