If clear-cutting will reduce "glo-bull warming", I'm all for it!

There is no room for any study that deflates the current "global warming" belief that America is solely responsible for all weather changes and pollution.

I think brussel sprouts are the worst offenders so I'll start there today. Maybe I can make the news. J

The only answer really, is to get rid of all of the people. That way, no one will be around to measure or worry about this stuff....

"'Keppler and colleagues' finding helps to account for observations from space of incredibly large plumes of methane above tropical forests,' he said in a commentary on the research."

Sting is deeply saddened...

IMO the European stories of late about plants harming the environment are part of a battle about carbon credits. Another story involved tree farms in England. People were paying to plant trees in lieu of cutting their own emissions.

I don't think the Kyoto heavies had tree planting in mind for their scheme. They counted on trans-national exchanges with countries like Russia and China who will "sell" credits but not cut back emissions at all. Just post phony stats.

Cover the Planet in White Concrete (to reflect the heat from the sun)
