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 = ?

Those numbers you request are highly misleading and possibly irrevelavant depending on what kind of climate model is used.
In simplified terms if climate is like a pail with a small hole in the bottom. The small hole is the amount of CO2 the earth can absorb and you are pouring water from multiple hoses into the bucket it and problems only occur if the bucket over flows it really doesn't matter where the water comes from. You have two options one cut natually occuring CO2 or cut human generated CO2. If you believe that CO2 is causing warming it really doesn't matter what is causing CO2
