OT. What on Earth?
Dean Hoffman posted for all of us...
What on Earth is a show on the Science channel. It was showing results
from a satellite named GOME. Its job is to monitor ozone levels. It
spots
other things as well. Scientists were a bit baffled by a big cloud over

U.S. The cloud covered a large share of the country east of the Rockies.
It turns out the cloud was because of the countries corn crop growing.
The U.S. corn crop puts out 40% more oxygen then the Amazon rainforest.
