The planet cam handle those fires,vic.It the release of carbon into the air from coal and oil that's doing the damage.
I watched an interesting doco series on SBS recently.Using highly sophisticated monitoring equipment,scientists in the U.S.discovered csg wells were releasing over 10% of the methane they were extracting into the atmosphere. In one area of California it was as high as 17%.Both of the operators of the wells say they release only about 5%.

There is no demonstrated causal connection between (A) an extra 1 CO2 molecule per 10,000 molecules of air, and (B) any resulting observed change in weather or climate.

Recent investigations have shown that inconceivable catastrophic changes in the environment will take place if the global temperatures increase by more than 2° C (3.6° F). A warming of 2° C (3.6° F) corresponds to a carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration of about 450 ppm (parts per million) in the atmosphere. 

As of beginning of 2007, the CO2 concentration is already at 380 ppm and it raises on average 2 - 3 ppm each year, so that the critical value will be reached in approximately 20 to 30 years from now. See here
 for some graphs about the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and the greenhouse gas emissions by sector.
 
Now I'm waiting for Spencer to get wheeled out...again

Those c02 levels are not even current. Co2 levels are currently higher around 400ppm..

 

Quoting from 2007?.......lol.  .... what alarmist website did you get that from?

 

Posting what if's just shows that alarmists have no evidence to support their theory.

 

Incredibly dull stuff.

And yet, deniers have no explanation for the Pacific islands being inundated, the shrinking polar ice, and the diminishing glaciers.

No "deniers" seem to have answered you band......I have some questions though.

 

What pacific islands are being "inundated"?

 

What polar caps are shrinking?

 

Which diminishing glaciers?

Even I'll admit some glaciers are melting back.


The other two I would debate.
Especially the Polar caps.

Some  glaciers advance and retreat......some are advancing.... others are retreating...some were recorded to be retreating prior to the 

 

1900's.
