There is a part of West Virginia that is on fire and will be on fire for about a century as the coal reserves under ground are burnt up. It is releasing CO2 as we speak. A fire started in a deep mine and got out of control. The mining company tried flooding the mine, but there were too many holes and not enough water. They finally decided to abandon themine and let it burn.
