Even so, the conditions in the Cambrian were extremely good for life, and helped it back on its legs after a mass extinction. So its perfectly possible global warming, even if it is anthropogenic, is good for the planet.
Extemely good for MAJOR diversification of life... not to keep the status quo. At those sort of temperatures and concentrations, humans and just about everything else on the planet would be wiped. Start over. This may be good for the final state of the world, but it sure as hell ain't good for us.

BM: A lot of it isn't underground, it's in living or decomposing plant matter, so burning forests adds to said thing.
