I listened to NPR this morning and was impressed by the report on fire prevention efforts around Lake Tahoe. They were right, we need to implement a fire ecology plan nation wide.
It will also address those pesky greenhouse gasses some people worry about. I need to see if the report survived Katrina, but 100 healthy trees on an acre plot have a better O2 coversion than 1000 unhealthy, stunted trees on the same plot. Most of that is the healthy trees and grasses have better O2 conversion than the crowded trees and understory are not getting proper sunlight for the conversion process. So we either need to use proper foresty techniques or allow the wild fires to burn themselves out in unpopulated areas. Either technique will reduce the intensity of the fires in future years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:241219 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
