I had a look at some graphs showing atmospheric pressure for the last 200 years. What I find surprising is there appears to be no dramatic trend of pressure increase. If every gallon (6.5 lbs) of burnt fuel produces 20 lbs of CO2 then the average pressure should be increasing by the carbon addition.

Any thoughts?
