Just like the meager uptick in CO2, a meager uptick in Helium 4 has been observed. Both of these observations have nothing to do with human activity.
"Deep-Earth reactor: Nuclear fission, helium, and the geomagnetic fieldâ€

"Tritium, 3H, is a major ternary fission product that beta decays with a 12.32-year half-life to form 3He.â€
"3He. ….. has a high neutron-absorption cross-section and, if formed within the neutron flux field of the reactor zone, will readily absorb a neutron, transforming to 4He.â€
Therefore, an uptick in performance of the GeoReactor and a higher neutron flux will produce a greater amount of 4He. The increase in atmospheric 4He, like the meager increase in CO2, has nothing to do with human activity.

"After decades of uncertainty, scientists have finally shown that fossil fuel extraction has flooded the atmosphere with 4He.†Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I wish I had a job that gave me the option of playing around with tiny numbers. Or maybe not; my eyes aren't what they used to be.

It's good to be able to act as if you are knowledgeable when discussing such miniscule amounts. Means you don't have to make immediate predictions.
