          “We are producing fossil fuels. That keeps people’s houses warm in the winter. That saves people’s lives, people die in the cold. This Earth warming and carbon is actually healthy for us. It helps us to feed people, it helps keep people alive. The Earth is more green than it was years and years ago, and that is because of the Earth warming.”

          Laugh all you want, but it’s theoretically possible to start forest firest from a space laser. Atmospheric scatter and all.

          It’s not what happened, but it is technically possible to focus enough energy on one spot with modern lasers.
