On an only somewhat related note:
The current US administration wanted to use the US forests as a CO2 "sink"
bargaining chip to get around the Kyoto accord. The dubious (Dub-ious?)
thinking is that since our trees absorb an amount of CO2 that we don't have
to cut our CO2 production. Now that our "sinks" go up in unregulated emission
combustion with regularity (Yellowstone, Los Alamos, Denver, Show Low) I hope
that the other nations that have agreed to abide by the accord allow the US
to claim the sinks as a credit on the condition that the release of the
carbon contained in the sinks are counted as CO2 production.
Yeah, That'll teach us!
