Meanwhile Canada's burning down. Again.
All that carbon "stored in the trees" is released. Such ****.

We, as a country, have cleaned up pretty good. To truly battle pollution, a sincere **** would be looking a bit more globally instead of bellyaching at the clean part of the garbage pile.
But, it's safer and easier to whine in America.  

Priorities seem out of whack. I like them in whack...

1% emissions volcanoes.. 2% wildfires. 97% Man Made... A year ago.. It's exponential...

The smoke plume..  Who let Snoop Dog Out???

Humanity burns 1.47 trillion gallons of liquid hydrocarbons a year. That's 181 gallons each for 8.1 Billion souls.  It sounds a reasonable number.

A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.8 lbs. When combusted 20 lbs of CO2 is produced,

1.47 trillion gal/yr*20 lbs co2/gal = 29.4 trillion pounds of CO2/yr. -13.3 Gigatons

Volcanoes make 1 GT a year on an active year. Forest Fires make 2 GT a year.

Anyone who denies anthropogenic effects on climate is a fool. There would be no Oxygen in the air if photosynthesis by plant life hadn't  occured. Humans are changing the balance. We crossed 400 PPM CO2 in the atmosphere in 2010 after Mother Nature had it regulated to under that for 800,000 years. Today we are at 430 ppm and climbing, we increased 30ppm in 15 years. CO2 absorbs infrared radiation, more of it in the air, more heat absorption. The industrial revolution coincided with the increased slope.

Drill Baby Drill Burn Baby Burn is going to fry this planet like an egg on drugs in a pan for our descendants.

I don't always stay cool. But when I do math helps.
