They are usually talking about ant-colonies or other micro-ecologies. Tbf, there is likely alot of unaccounted CO2 production from those areas, but there is no way that it comes even close to the amount of CO2 industrial processes (particularly farming) create. It's just throwing chaff and is horseshit, but people want to rationalize it as not our fault, so they will grasp at even bullshit explanation.
Things like ant colonies haven't increased the amount of atmospheric co2 as well, as the carbon has releases has largely been pulled from the air, whereas the fossil fuel industry involves releasing historically trapped carbon (which did come from the air but a billion years ago), increasing the net co2 in the short term
Good explanation, clearly it's horseshit, but that is what I hear being pushed.
