You do realize that all of those sources (except for #5) have natural sinks associated with them, right?
Oceans are also the largest CO2 sink. Depending on the temperature of the ocean it will absorb or release CO2.
The amount of CO2 released by volcanoes is about equal to the amount of CO2 taken in by silicate weathering. By the way, humans emit more than 100 times as much CO2 than volcanoes do.

Yes we are totally insignificant and can't do any harm to the environment
