In addition, the fierce solar heat released further carbon from its surface rocks.

In short: The use of peat fuel releases carbon that was bound long before the industrial revolution.

The Indonesian fires released more carbon in three months than all of Europe's industry does in a year.

This estimate does not include forest fires, which release carbon and increase in dry years.

Over large land areas though, there are no oceans to release carbon, so the fossil fuel effect is the most important.

Heat causes sodium bicarbonate to act as a raising agent by releasing carbon dioxide when used in baking.

If we carry on releasing stored carbon at our current (increasing) rate, it is likely to cost us the earth.

When it detonates, it only releases copper and carbon.

If they start releasing carbon, instead of storing it, this is what climate scientists call a "positive feedback".

In the Amazon this happens on a more localised scale but the result, increased forest death, also releases carbon into the atmosphere.
