Oak Ridge National Lab puts the total emissions from the oil fires at 130 million tonnes C or ~480 million tonnes CO2.

CO2 Emissions - Kuwait Oil Fires

So again, less than 3%.

Don't let the suffering continue. If you have Climate Change Denial Disorder, get help.
Recognition that one suffers from a disorder is the first step towards a cure .

Re: Why Climate Change Won't Matter in 20 Years

Here is something to think about some pages age there was a link that said there was less snow coverage than it used to be but Rutgers shows that there is more snow cover than normal . Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab and the water under my keel is colder than I have seen in many years at 42° f in Sinclair inlet. Puget sound

1950 show ice, 2009 show rocks.
