All fossil fuels = stored solar energy brought up from underground.
Screw the global warming scientist and global warming deniers. We don't need them.
All we need is our own observations: you mine coal (stored solar energy) and burn it, you are releasing the stored solar energy. HEAT
The globe is a closed system. Every BTU of heat is trapped in our atmosphere (some heat frequencies may radiate out into space).
So whether it is Buffalo NY getting buried with "lake effect" snow from a power plant heated Lake Erie, or Boston getting buried with snow because of the warmer offshore Atlantic, or Vanuatu getting smeared away by a cyclone...it's all aggravated/caused by heat we have released into the atmosphere.
