Do you know right from wrong?

Hey.

Are you using wood right? Did you know that it's actually okay to chop woods - but not to burn it because of the CO2 pollution? This is a new video that tells you about it:

YouTube - Use Wood Right

YouTube - Use Wood Right

What a coincidence: it the video was funded by the wood industry.

True that - the video is pretty pro-wood industry. The valid point they have though is - that if wood can be used as building material or recycled then it should be used for that instead of being burned...

I am all for recycling of all materials : however in some instance, some wood needs be burned.

Personally I try at all time to maximise my recycling and minimise my carbon footprint (use public transport/walk/cycle whenever possible, turn off applicances at their socket, minimise use of the families cars, teach the family to be eco-responsible etc).

We’re all aware of the huge level of indiscriminate destruction of forests throughout the world.
Amazon rainforest being a case in point.

Good reminder, john

morelike hypocrisy.

Yeah, some wood is just too old and can't be recycled and then it's way better to burn that instead of fossil fules! You got a good point with the "educational" or "teaching" part. We can all do something to help the environment.

I am at a disadvantage. When has CO2 been classified as a pollutant?

CO2 isn't technically a pollutant. Its ever increasing fraction in the atmosphere correlates with increased global temps. It is one of the greenhouse gasses. It's likely that with increasing global warming and CO2 levels, more people will die from the increasing CO2 levels, as well as the resulting increasing temps (and its products: crop migration, drought, disease migration and epidemics,.........). So call it what ever you want. Increased CO2 levels are as big a threat as pollution......unless you work for the oil industry, invest in the oil industry, do research for the oil industry, belong to the Flat Earth Society, or cannot, in general, wrap your head around objective scientific research and results.

CO2 is not a pollutant. Okay. Its a greenhouse gas. How does that work?

How does that work? Uhm, the answer's a bit long for an internet forum. If you're serious about your question, you can search Wikipedia, NASA, NOAA, NWS, use Google Scholar to pick out research on greenhouse gases and global warming. If you're not serious, try making a point.

Global Warming? Hey, I want my share of that. It has been too darn cold around here lately. I had to scrape frost off of my windsheild this morning and it is only mid-November.

Why does everyone pick on fossil fuels? I think that wine should be banned, the fermentation process generates CO2. (all tongue in cheek of course).

CO2 is actually necessary for the circle of life on this planet although too much of it will produce a greenhouse effect. Simply put - we breathe CO2 out and trees breathe it in, the trees then breathe out oxygen for us to breathe in.

Sit around. Do nothing. You or your children will see.

Such emotion in response to two very elemental questions. How can you be so certain an environmental cataclysm is just around the corner if substantive answers to two simple questions are avoided?
