Proven coal reserves worldwide: 909,000,000,000 tons.
Proven oil reserves worldwide: 1,482,000,000,000 barrels.
That’s 4500 tons of coal and 7,000 barrels of oil per square mile on the surface of the earth. I’m not surprised that burning that much stuff would warm things up. These scientists must be proud of themselves for concluding that fire is hot.
Thanks for the factoids!
