you rewally are dafti'm still waiting for the two middle aged failures, the pool boy and the stock boy, to show me citation that forest fires cause global cooling.
forest fires cause LOCAL COOLING which is part of the global climate.
you think the smoke cloud uses it's albedo to simply divert the heat a few miles to the west?
no, it reflects it back into space, causing that locality to become noticably cooler, which in turn brings down the global average
if there are enough forest fires, there will be a GLOBAL nuclear winter scenario.
in the past there have in fact been such massive fires
the meteor strike that killed the dinosaurs didnt do it by flying around the globe knocking each one on the head until it found the last brontosaur hiding in a swamp and knocked him out.
the strike caused a huge heat flash that started fires for thousands of miles around the impact and THATS what chilled the dinosaurs' nuts off.
