   Why not burn more coal.

   That’s supposed to slowdown warming according to James Hansen. Only if its burnt by China though. It causes warming of the Climate if burnt by the USA.

   There’s a campaign and more local govt laws on the burning of woodfires. Supposedly to reduce smoke haze and improve air quality. Plus reduce emissions.

   Yet burning wood is suppose to now reverse GW. Well they shouldn’t moan when there’s a big forest fire then. 😉

   That’s one of the dumbest articles ever written. Are these people trying to destroy the remaining credibility science has? Professor Azar should immediately resign for being a complete moron and fraud.

     But it’s been peer reviewed by the Rowing team!! 😀
     The Guardian is worse than News of the World. And may its fate be the same.

   Have far we have come from, “Save the trees”, when plastic bags came along, everybody was happy and then they became bored and now it’s burn the trees and do away with the plastic. The sure bet is somewhere in the chain, somebody is making a lot of money on the side. Who needs super heroes, we got scientists and politicians who can reverse the weather. It’s the people who believe this fantasy that trouble me.

   Environmentalism is the playground of the wealthy and the over-privileged. They have their needs and even a lot of their fantasies fulfilled and don’t understand “The Hierarchy of Needs”. They consider the “rest of us”, the ones there’s too many of, trespassing on their “resources” and people intruding into what they consider their “privileges”. Their “smug” must be satisfied at all costs, no matter who suffers. It’s an addiction. They will destroy every last endangered bird with their shredders in order to maintain their “smugness.” Nothing else matters, they stand just like the Pharisees of Biblical times announcing, “Thank you Lord that I’m not like other men.”

   “burning trees for energy and capturing and storing carbon dioxide” is the opposite of each other.
   Growing more trees is reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and not burning.

   “burning trees for energy and capturing and storing carbon dioxide” is the opposite of each other.”
   Your right, they are opposites.

   “Growing more trees is reducing CO2 in the atmosphere… ”
   Ding, Ding, Ding. You are right a second time. unfortunately neither option pays the Green Mafia well enough for them to Summer in Paris unless the Green Mafia convinces you to let them do both. Then as Co2 levels plummets trees will grow slower and smaller and your great grand children will have to pay the Green Mafia to ransom the stored Co2 or else freeze to death from a lack of firewood. Neat huh?

   Strongly reminds me of the troupe of idiots in Douglas Adams Hitchhiker series that had been sent off in an ark because their homeworld was allegedly about to explode. They declared leaves their new money once they landed on Earth and then started to burn down forests to fight inflation.

   Trees provide shade, and leaf transpiration cooling–anybody remember that? Have they forgotten “getting out of the Sun and into the shade to beat the heat”? How about “We’re looking for a house with plenty of shade”? Doesn’t the “Sun beat down” anymore where they live? Haven’t they seen the patio awning commercials–or the Coppertone ads, for that matter? Why hasn’t the ACLU sued them already? Perhaps this is a rhetorical question but, are they vampires, by any chance, who have never seen the light of day?

     This post certainly should have a Homer/Hansen with his axe, Mr. Goddard. Hmmph!
