Thank God we stopped the Timber Industry from harvesting all those densely populated trees into Piano’s and Houses, and don’t forget all the dead wood that we prevented from being harvested and sold for firewood for campers,....
The law of unintended consequences...
I know right?
Think what could have happened if we hadn't stopped that.
Wont hear from the freaks about the carbon being spewed into the air from these fires either.
Not only carbon, but nasty stuff such as mercury that is being sucked off the ground and into the air.
Just remember, a good portion of the air pollution that settles in those trees/ground comes from Asia/China. You get to breath that also within the smoke that is being expelled with these fires. So that stuff, your getting it twice. Once when it drifts over from there and once when it is released into the air from these fires.
Here is a case where you really should wear a mask. I will let the doctors on this site explain what raw carbon/pollution like this does to your lungs/body. Especially mercury.
