Moronic. Carl Sagan claimed the same thing about the 1000 oil well fires in Kuwait in ‘91. He said we would see dropping temperatures, and possibly something like a nuclear winter.

Nothing happened, and the air pollution effects were basically local and short lived.

Correct. What Carl Sagan didn’t know was that a bunch of oilfield Texans would go over and put those wellheads out in weeks instead of the years or decades the eggheads predicted.
