Honest question: are we burning mountain ranges of carbon every year? I’m trying to get a feel for the size of the problem compared to the solution. Or is there a reason for the size difference if not?

Assuming the answer is yes, do we see the ground level around oil wells sinking by a comparable amount where we pump the oil out? Seems like we’d have to, wouldn’t we?
