CO2 from Limestone
(OP)
Besides firing it in a kiln or soaking it with acid rain, can some other process cause crushed up limestone, seashells and marls to decompose and produce CO2?
Some thing happening in nature, it sounds dumb but could these substances be baked in the sun and cause some CO2 emissions?

RE: CO2 from Limestone
More than 98 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions can be traced to the combustion of fossil fuels. Less than 2 percent comes from other industrial sources, including the manufacture of cement and lime. Total estimated emissions increased by 1.5 percent (22 million metric tons of carbon), from 1996 values of 1,479 million metric tons to 1,501 million metric tons of carbon in 1997 (Table 6).(23) Compared with 1990 emissions levels, the increase is 145 million metric tons of carbon or 10.7 percent. U.S. carbon emissions have increased every year since 1991 (Figure 1).

Trying to look for reasons why the CO2 is higher than in town.

The town I mentioned is right on the leeward coast, maybe 1.5 miles to the windward.
Impossible to be more than 3 miles inland anywhere on island

Garbage dump is far away, but swamps and maybe some cattle and chickens not far away.

That's interesting. Maybe Intelligent design? Putting trees where CO2 feed content and fossil fuel burners where CO2 byproduct is low. Le Chatelier would have approved.
