No clearcutting? Install Google Earth and take a look areound Mt. St.
Helens in Washington State.

Clearcutting is easy to see.

Don't need a satellite picture it is quite visible from the ground :-(
We took a trip to Washington past June and July, and saw a massive
amount of the most gruesome logging practices imaginable. Total
destruction. Mt. St. Helens, Olympic area, near Rainier - lots of it.

Washington calls itself the Evergreen State. Ironic.

CA Central Valley has a remarkable variety of pollution sources, from
dust to ag burning to cows to cars. Each produces a different mixture
of emissions - some more particulates, some more ozone precursors. The
Central Valley has such bad air quality in summer (due to emissions and
climatological factors) that *any* reduction in *any* pollutant is
desirable.

''Dairy cows in the San Joaquin Valley, California, produce more
smog-forming gases than cars, according to local air quality
regulators. The region's dairy industry currently includes some 2.5
million cattle''

I believe when Mt St. Helens erupted is caused a much worse clearcut.

For a single event, yes.

But the collective human effect has been greater.

Both of these are fairly small conmpared to what will happen when the
Yellowstone Caldera or Owens Valley Caldera get mad again.

much aybout wildfires.It's just one of them thangys.

No point now that the melting peat bogs are releasing millions of tons
of methane. It's over.

Old Book of Kells was found in an Irish Peat Bog many years ago.That
very same Book now resides in a Library in Dublin,Ireland.I own a
reprint Book of the Book of Kells. www.devilfinder.com Book of
Kells

You are NOT!!!! going to mess around in Ireland Peat Bogs,,, YOU are
NOT!!!! going to do

It could be posed that anything (such as a cow) that is a natural part of
the ecosystem cannot part of a pollution problem. Man himself cannot be a
direct part, either, though his machines certainly can as they are not a
natural part of the ecosystem.
