The fate of all carbon is Davy Jones’ locker. Following the post on the imminent decline in world oil production and the effect that would have on agricultural operating costs at http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/10/27/peak-oil-now-for-the-downslope/,
let’s have a look at what total peak fossil fuel production looks like and the effect that will have on climate. It will look something like this:
Figure 1: World Fossil Fuel Production 1800 – 2300
The figure is in millions of barrels of oil and its equivalent in energy content per annum. Peak production is in 2025. Coal production keeps rising until about 2050 but that is more than offset by the declines in oil and natural gas. China has the largest coal reserves on the planet of about one trillion tonnes. The United States is next with about 250 billion tonnes.

I note that Demi Moore’s upcoming divorce from her young stud has been figured in to the number’s. I find her use of wedding vows as the cause is a little weak. Don’t throw stones until you have them all.
It’s a pantload because the amount of carbon in the form of methyl-hydrate vastly, vastly exceeds the other forms put together. By orders of magnitude!
There is probably a billion times more of it than all the oil ever used or discovered,
