Worldwide, "humans burn anywhere from 750,000 to 8.2 million ?km^2 of forest and grassland around the world," ?(The very conservative average is then ?4.475 million km^2.)
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ Posit wildfires average a paltry one gram of fuel/cm^2, the weight of ?of a dry unmown blade of grass. That is ?a gross underestimate (consider trees) and we will calculate its immodest implications.
Plants are 44.4% carbon by ?weight (net C6(H2O)5 for polyglucose cellulose; carbon-rich ?lignin balances moisture). Multiply that fraction by 44.01/12.01 ?for carbon to CO2. Worldwide fires annually average emit 72.81 billion metric tonnes of CO2.
A gallon of gasoline burns to 8800 grams of CO2, ?
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/420f05001.htm Worldwide wildfires ?are very conservatively equivalent to burning 8.27 trillion ?gallons of gasoline annually for CO2 emissions.
The Earth's total petroleum consumption averaged 1.6 million ?bbl/d in 2006. We will allow carbon sumps like asphalt remaining ?after refining to appear as burned fuel, ?
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/contents.html (42 gallons/bbl)(1.60x10^6 bbl/d)(365 days) is 24.5 billion ?gallons for the year 2006.
Each year global wildfires equal the ?whole world burning 100% of recovered petroleum for
337 years. ?If petroleum burning were reduced to ZERO, overall CO2 emissions as above would decrease less than 0.3%
Kyoto is not insanity, it is purposeful criminality. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.
