Okay, but umm... okay. umm. so what if... wait... okay I got one. What if the surface gets so hot that it ignites all the oil wells and natural gas wells in the earth then the fire goes down inside the earth and hits the main pockets then blows up way underground?

You know as long we're exploring ideas here.
My layman's guess would be that mot something like could really do would be about like a small underground nuke test, and that's assuming that the Nat Gas was low enough pressure to actually ignite. For an oil well, I can't imagine an explosion so much as a steady burn. So still no ka-boom.
