The CO2 released by bushfires is part of the current carbon cycle. The CO2 released by burning fossil fuels is not. Equating the two is disengenuous, and I'm tired of people not seeing the difference.

It's very simple. There were huge reservoirs of land-locked carbon. For the last few hundred years we've been steadily increasing the amounts of that locked carbon that is being freed into the atmosphere, as we burnt coal, then added oil, and then kept increasing our use.

Whether you agree about what effect it is having, or is going to have, or not, the bottom line is still humans are responsible for pumping locked carbon back into the carbon cycle, and it must have an affect. And we're going to have to deal with it. And until we know more about what kind of effect it's going to have, common sense says slow down and reduce the impact while we work out what we're dealing with.
