In Reply to: Considering how a few hours burning made just ashes of the greatest collection of written knowledge... posted by orejones on June 19, 2006 at 01:58:19:
of years before any human walked the earth? In fact most scientists widely assume huge forest fires- bigger than anything we have ever seen were quite common. As well as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and horrendous lightning strikes (which caused the fires).More ash and CO2 was released into the atmosphere during the prvios 200,000,000 years than we could ever possibly hope to accomplish in the next 200 years.

...which has been removed from the atmosphere, letting one mollecule of O2 free.And now we are simply reverting the process, while pumping heat at the same time...
Arenīt we smart?

But this joker doesn't have a leg to stand on. The forest fires is just grasping on straws, or is it tree trunks? Still, burning all the oil we can find is the equivalent of burning every last forest that ever lived (and within a very short period before natural cycles can intervene and even things out), because obviously not all of it is burned and a lot of it was just buried and composted. Also, how much of that biomass turned to oil is from animal matter that would rarely have burned before decomposing? Now, oxygen molecules, hmm, let me grap another cup of coffee.
