re: the forest fire comments (Uncle Al & RicS)
Does anyone know the conversion factor between Gtons of carbon and Mtons of CO2? I run into that as I'm looking around. Esp. in re. to volcanos and forest fires.
I think UA's statement refers to Carbon, not CO2. Am I wrong here?
Thanks,

Pyrolysis creates reduced carbon! ...Time for the next step in our evolutionary symbiosis with fire.
