>>12302732All of the carbon within petroleum and coal, has been sequestered out of the carbon cycle for millions of years right?
Which means that the total amount of carbon circulating in the carbon cycle is increasing due to burning fossil fuels right?
Petroleum and coal are organic in origin right?
Then that means at a previous time in earths history, WHILE there were loads of living things, that carbon that is now sequestered in petroleum reserves was not sequestered away, and was circulating within the carbon cycle.
How is it, then, that returning this seauestered carbon will result in the annihilation of all life on earth?
Even if it did melt much of the ice caps permanently, and led to sea level change, that is completely survivable for humanity, and would result in a net population decrease, and subsequent reduction in emissions.
Ergo, you are a retard.
