First of all, what do you mean by "mass release of fossil fuels" ? If someone is out there releasing them then I want some. If you are referring to the burning of fossil fuels and the resultant release of CO2 that will allegedly have a negative impact on the environment, then I put you in the category of doomsday alarmists who have been around for centuries. When I was a kid in the early seventies, we were supposed to have been extinct by now due to a population explosion, then it was the new ice age, then it was the ozone hole, now its global warming.

The earth has harbored life for the last billion years or so, it has survived earthquakes, asteroids, comet strikes, and volcanoes. According to NASA,
the worldwide temperature has fallen since 1998. If you want to know the main reason for global temperature variance then look up. The sun. Maybe we could start a campaign to destroy the sun.

The sun is not to blame for global warming. Scientist say that the sunspots which give off vast amounts of energy from the sun are only increasing the energy released to the earth and does not have an impact on global climate change. the study done by the IPCC actually included the impact from the sun, so to say that the sun is solely to blame for climate change is ignorant and way off base. some scientist think the sun may have a small act in the climate change, but its nothing to worry about, the release of CO2 from human action is what to worry about, and we can change it. We know from fossil records that when there is more CO2 in the air, then global temperatures increase. So you can start your crusade to destroy the sun, but the sun isnt the culprit.

Decline in temperatures
If you only look at temperatures since 1998 then yes there hasn't been much of a change, but if you look back at the last century then global temperatures have increased by 1.35 degrees Fahrenheit, and over half of that warming has occurred since 1979. If the emission of green house gases doesnt stop, then we could see that number rise by as much as 2 - 10 times in the next 100 years, that it what has scientist worried. Youre only looking at a very small portion of time, and youre only doing that so it will fit your viewpoint. I tried to research the data since 1998 and 99% of the sites I found where Bs right wing propaganda sites. So I didnt look at most of them.
