Confused Again

Leonard Wallace, New Meadows, Idaho

Confused again, the green community are pushing for electric vehicles, windmills, solar farms for electricity saying current methods of generating electricity by burning fossil fuels, and burning fossils fuels in vehicles is putting carbon into the atmosphere and is leading to global warming and climate change they are right to a certain extent.

Now the confusing part according to my dictionary smoke is defined as a vaporous gas arising from a burning material made visible by minute particles of carbon suspended in it.

According to the local newspaper the forest service are going to start doing control burns to thin the forest which they will do from the time it get dry enough to burn till it get to wet to burn, there will probably be a forest fire in this time which they won’t put out immediately they will watch it to see if it will go out which it probably won’t, then try to figure out whose property it is on, by this time it probably out of control.

According to the same dictionary carbon promotes plant growth are they making their own jobs or what, because when the forest get overgrown which it will, they will have to have another controlled burn.

Now keep telling yourself that the smoke carbon you will see is not as polluting as what you can’t see…...

To say nothing for the fact that they won’t log the burn and try to save the timber and help the local economy.
