Climate

[Lamplighter]

Not just "also the question" but that (albedo) is one part of the theory climate scientists present.

I agree that in the narrow interpretation, the heat (calories) given off in burning
all fossil fuels would seem to be a very small part of the global warming sequences.

But in the larger sense of giving off CO2/methane/etc (green-house gases),
and the reduction in natural recycling of CO2 incurred by deforestation,
the mining and burning of coal and natural gas would be a significant contributor
to the several different processes leading to global warming.
