    How much oil is there in a barrel?

    A barrel of oil is equal to 159 litres, 42 US gallons or 35 imperial gallons.

    Of course that is just oil and does not include coal and other fossil fuels

    Another who was never taught how to count but was only indoctrinated into blind religious beliefs.
    How difficult is it to understand what I am pointing to: 96 MILLION barrels?That's all? Such a minuscule, negligible number in relation to all other numbers of the Earth?

    I guess you have to insult people when you have nothing.

    Your information does not challenge a simple, short statement I posted twice and made it bold red the second time for.

    How many times usually a simple sentence has to be repeated to you in order to cause some reaction from you, if not understanding?

    If not the indoctrination in blind religious beliefs makes you rudely quote out of context, then what does?

    If your simple sentence is not a validated referenced scientific fact then it is a pure waste of bandwidth

    In bold above, the operative word here is 'we'. Who are the 'we'? We in CA, in the USA, in Russia, in China, in Siberia, in Africa, in the Dominican Republic, in Brazil?

    There is no world law that prevents deforestation or demands replanting. In fact, there is no world law...period. So 'we' are fundamentally 7+ billion people on Earth all doing whatever we feel like doing with zero to little regard to aggregate Earth.

    There are no conspiracies regarding not being proactive on potential climate change. Facts will probably tell us that maybe 90% of the 7+ billion have never given any thought to this issue, that 5% think about it but don't have any interest in taking actions, leaving about 5% who are willing to consider proactive actions.

    And this 5% have been and are sounding the alarms, and they are getting attention, and they are getting some actions, but in the grand scheme of things it almost goes unnoticed.

    Lastly, it is illogical to believe that 7+ billion people and industry can pollute Earth 24/7 and this won't have any effects? Trying sitting in your car, with the engine running, put the car in the garage, and close the garage door, then tell everyone about your experience. Now multiply this experience by a trillion times every single day and guess what the effects might be? The effects are real, and they will differ from area to area, and they are negative. Where is the tipping point from area to area...does anyone know?

    Congratulation on such a quick arrival to the state of total denial of reality typical for all religious fanatics!

    One does not have to be scientist in order to see that in the scale of the Earth, its atmosphere and its products burning 159 Million barrels a day has no more effect than burning a match in a restaurant kitchen. All one needs is some basic common sense of reality.

    You have not even addressed the billions of tons of coal burned every year. But clueless folks tend to deny the very reality they claim to face.

    Isn't the Sun (driver of all climate on Earth) a 'nuclear powered air conditioner?'

    More like a nuclear powered heater.

    Did somebody brought coal up to my attention?
    No, nobody did.
    Is there any possible reason for somebody to try to dismiss even one of my words because I have not addressed coal in such a case except for the obvious reason of being totally blinded by fanatical religious beliefs?
    Thank you for accepting all my words about burning 159 Million barrel of oil a day as true.

    Which powers climate which includes both warming and cooling....Thus conditioning the climate of Earth.

    Fanatical religious beliefs? This is no evidence or even an argument. I am not sure you can recognize the truth in this matter.

    This what I expected from a true religious fanatic, - just few totally disconnected from a quoted text, each other and reality sentences.
    Thank you.

    The Earth cools in spite of the sun, not because of it. And Earth's climate is dependent on more than just the sun.

    Do you think when Earth has 20 billion inhabitants that 'their' carbon pollution will have an impact on climate?

    Actually areas of Earth cool because of the Sun...the less Sun the less heat or more cooling.

    "Because of the sun"

    "The less sun"

    Is this what passes for logic?

    In other words, you couldn't back up your claim in any way, so you chose to dodge by proclaiming "it's obvious!".

    We know with 100% certainty, due to the isotope measurements, that the increase from 280 ppm to 400 ppm CO2 is due to fossil fuel burning and other human activity. The facts say that the burnt fossil fuel had a very measurable result, and that your "miniscule" claim is laughably wrong.

    This is not a discussion. You are simply wrong, because the facts say you are wrong.

    Even if to take isotope measurements as true, while obviously they are are not true at all, it does not disprove my estimate that burning all that oil and coal have no more effect that burning a match in a kitchen.
    While scientists refuse to estimate how much of CO2 was released by wild fires and other source then and now, which of course make all their studies to be totally irrelevant garbage.

    Well, you cannot escape the effects of the Sun. And logic does dictate that more Sun equals more heat and less Sun equals less heat. It is the tilt of Earth's axis and proximity to the Sun which determines warm or cool conditions...

    Nature causes a lot of CO2 to be released into the atmosphere. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much CO2 humans release into the air. That's common sense, isn't it?
