It's crazy that we know all the carbon in coal and and oil and ect comes from a period of history where there was more carbon in earths cycles, and it's widely believed to be a period of time where the whole earth had a tropical environment.

And everyone was just like "Putting this all back in the atmosphere is probably fine."

Worked out for the dinosaurs, I guess.
