Happy Earth Day

I found out that Earth Day has a guilty secret...

Trees are a major contributor to global warming.

We have become so good at fighting forest fires that the USA has more trees now than ever in history. The Everglades is being completely destroyed by trees because the area is denied the annual burning of millions of acres that once occurred annually.

Millions of square miles once burned annually in North America. No longer. All this was thought of as wonderful by environmentalists once because trees were thought to be the planets savior because they eat the evil CO2 and make Oxygen. It turns out they also produce a massive amount of methane, as well as, transmit moisture to the atmosphere creating significant increase in greenhouse effects.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't burn less fossil fuels. I believe we should find better, cleaner ways to make power for the modern world.

--I'm saying the Global Warming is more complicated than we think.
