==Notes from 2008==
Please add the issue of coal fires to this discussion. There are many natural and man-made coal fires burning out of control around the globe. These are a '''major''' source of CO2s. In China alone, the fires are estimated to produce as much CO2 as all the vehicles in North America. In the US, a Pennsylvanian town has been abandoned due to the fires burning under it. Awareness needs to be raised and finding a way to extinguish them should be a global priority.(CS: There is a [[Coal fires]] page.)
