The CO2 that has been sequestered in the earth in the form of fossil fuels is not part of the carbon cycle.

Pardon my ignorance but could you explain how this works? Last I checked CO2 made naturally is 1 part carbon to 2 parts oxygen and weighs approximately 44g/mol while CO2 produced from burning hydro carbons also consists of 1 part carbon to 2 parts oxygen and also weighs 44g/mol. I believe they both have all the same characteristics as well do they not? Chemistry does not discriminate does it?

Seconded...just numbers, nothing else.
Human Produced CO2 = ?
Naturally Produced CO2 = ?
