As I say though, it doesn't matter "who" is doing the emitting in determining what to do about it.

Craig Dilworth's book,'Too Smart For Our Own Good' is the source.Annual coal,petroleum,and natural gas combustion releases as much carbon dioxide as if you burned all the forest on Earth,fifteen times a year.Each year.
If the Earth had no oceans,was 100% landmass,and completely covered with trees,burning all that down each year still wouldn't release as much carbon.It would take 1.6-Earth's worth of fire to equal anthropogenic carbon emissions.
Arithmetic appears to elude those at the top of the climate denial community.Pity.
