I am in the US at the moment. Bair has hit the news with his "save the planet" stance. Some news agencies are treating this in the same vein as the "killer bees" scare in the 70s..........
The treat Gore as a bit of a joke
Found this in the news...
Indonesian forest fires may fuel global warming
Quote:
The thickest haze in 1997-1998 came from a fire at a one-million-hectare (2.47-million-acre) area of peat which the Indonesian government was draining for a massive rice planting project in Central Kalimantan province on Borneo island.
More than 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere from that burning, the study said.
That beats the 60million tonnes or so we produce from road traffic. Still you can't tax that can you
