Is there a global CO2 output estimate?

Question

I'm pretty sure the US (DOE? EPA? can't remember) estimates year-over-year CO2 output.  Is there a similar tally for the world?  Difficult at best, but still.

And to folks chomping at the bit for another AGW "debate," please refrain, unless you really want to argue that burning coal and oil does not release any CO2.  Which isn't my question anyway.  Thanks.

Edit: Global CO2 output in 2007 was 29.3 gigatons, and the total greenhouse gas emissions when measured as their equivalence in CO2 was 44.1 gigatons (as per above links).  Provisional figures for 2010 are 31Gt of CO2 and 44Gt of CO2e.

Yes there is,but it's basically a wild guess based upon no evidence at all, so not worth mentioning.
Bear in mind that these people cannot estimate the amount of co2 in 1 volcanic eruption but feel they can state with certainty the co2 produced globally by 6 billion individuals , their crops ,livestock and factories.
