O/T: Throw Another Log On The Fire
One year ago the temp reached 100F.
Today was a struggle to reach the high 60F's. A Spring winter storm, more like a late Winter storm is coming in off the Pacific. The ski resorts are loving it, they expect to be open at least thru June. So, "Throw another log on the fire, .................." Lew |

Look at their preacher, Algore's, estate in Kentucky, which, after public shame and eco retrofit, still uses _20_times_ the energy a typical human's home requires. (He uses 221,000KWh while I used 5,000 last year, 44 times my requirement. Nat'l avg is 10,656KWh annually.) For them, it's "Do as I say, not as I do." Hypocrites, all. -- "I think you very well may see a revolution in this country and it will not be a revolution to overthrow the government," he said. "It would be a revolution to restore government to its constitutional basis." --Rob Weaver on VoA, 4/19/10 |

So, "Throw another log on the fire, .................." Lew If you are running low on logs you might want to toss in my last few projects. It might take a sledge to get them ready for the fireplace but that is about what they are worth. :-( |

Two of my neighbors have pellet stoves, and even they're nasty when you're standing downwind of 'em. Uckfay Oodway Iresfay. You seen a grass burning? Smoke isn't the problem. It can be a problem locally but it's particulates and if they get high enough and stay high enough they may actually help. It's CO2 that's believed to be the problem, and it's believed that the reason it's a problem is that humans are rapidly releasing CO2 that was stored over tens of millions of years. So wood burning, which releases CO2 that would be released in the next couple or centuries anyway and which will be resorbed by the next generation of trees, is not a significant part of the problem. Of course that assumes that anthropogenic global warming is a real phenomenon and that it's the huge problem that the fear industry makes it out to be. |

On 21 Apr 2010 17:04:46 GMT, the infamous (Scott Lurndal) scrawled the following: "LDosser" writes: "Lew Hodgett" wrote in message .com... One year ago the temp reached 100F. Today was a struggle to reach the high 60F's. A Spring winter storm, more like a late Winter storm is coming in off the Pacific. The ski resorts are loving it, they expect to be open at least thru June. So, "Throw another log on the fire, .................." Lew Have you considered what that wood fire will contribute to Global Warming? ;-) If anything, the particulate matter in the wood smoke will cool the planet. As for CO2, there is no net gain in CO2 from burning firewood, since the CO2 in the firewood was recently (within a few decades, usually) in the atmosphere. Firewood is 'carbon neutral', unlike fossil fuels like coal and oil. Crikey, Scott. BUY a braincell. Or rent a humor gene ... I love these "carbon neutral" statements about the forms of heating which put out up to 400 times the pollution/CO2 than other forms do. Have you ever seen a quiet valley where there are a dozen home fires going? It's inundated with smoke so your visibility is cut to the next house, if you're close enough. I've driven through Merlin, OR and wondered about the dense fog until I got past the ONE fireplace which had smoked out the entire freakin' town! I drove through several miles of it and could smell the smoke, but couldn't see any fireplaces until then. Two of my neighbors have pellet stoves, and even they're nasty when you're standing downwind of 'em. Uckfay Oodway Iresfay. I stand by my statement that burning wood is carbon neutral. Look it up. Of course you do, Scott. And you'd bet your Birkenstocks on it, wouldn't you? What's a birkenstock? A few minutes of googling would quickly determine that I've no sympathy for the AGW'ers. I don't gamble. So, you're incorrect on every point. scott |
