Don't hit send... don't do it... don't hit that dern button... they

Alright guys, and the late Jennifer (girl of my dreams). This old
world has been rotating and spinning around the sun for quite some
time. When we say man made polution what we are referring to is stuff
that was here when we got here. Oh we have refined it and changed it
some, but IT was here long before we were. The fuel your bike runs
on, the plastic and rubber parts, the steel and aluminum have been
here affecting the environment for a long long time.
When Mt. Pinatubo erupted it dumped more polutants into the world
environment than all industrial and vehicle emmissions AND aerosols
AND hydrochlorocarbons (freon) that have been produced since the
industrial revolution. Including 20 to 30 megatons of sulphur dioxide
and aerosols. The eruption of this volcano produced a large number of
micrometer-sized droplets (aerosols) of sulfuric acid which were
thrown into the stratosphere. These particles eventually spread out
over the globe. The very small droplets blocked energy coming from
the Sun, the result was that the Earth cooled off a little with about
a half degree centigrade. These volcanic droplets had also got some
other side effects, the particles catalyzed heterogeneous reactions
that were probably the cause of unusually low ozone levels.
The particles were also the indirect cause of the destroying of
part of the sea-nature in the Gulf of Akaba (180km long, 25km wide,
1.8km deep) because the droplets encouraged the growth of alga (which
is very harmful to the sea-nature). Emanations of gas can cause
immediate loss of life, 142 people were killed by carbon dioxide from
the Deng Plateau in Java. that's alot of gas.
Point being, dont get your panties in a wad.
Yes, we need to have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe.
We have that... will continue to have it if we use our heads a
little. But, lets not over react as we did with the refrigerant
scandal a few years ago... Did you know for instance that the
replacement for R-12 & R-22 is carcinoginic? It is not as readily
broken down by sunlight as R-12 or R-22. Hmmm.
THE SKY IS NOT FALLING, But the ecoweenies are closing off our land
and resources because they are afraid it is... Tropical forests,
because of the decaying vegetation on the forest floor use more
oxygen than they produce. A field of grass does a better job than a
forest in that regards.
For those of you that live in LA and see the air you breathe... the
reason you do is more a factor of geography than anything. When you
fart in LA it has no where to go. It is trapped by the mountains,
prevailing winds from the coast and you are stuck having no way for
it to disapate... it eventually falls to the ground, but you guys put
it up faster than it can fall out, because of your geography and
population density.
The Kyoto agreement is fine, let the Japanese and Europeans work
towards keeping it up. Until all countries enforce it including china
it won't have any affect. Except on our economy. And when the next
big Volcano errupts, it will not have mattered anyhow. This old world
is going to survive us. It is rugged, it is hardy, it will be a great
place to live long after we quit.
If you have read this far, I aplogize for the length but not the
content. Let's get back to bikes.

environmental rant (nklr?)
After reading your dissertation, I have come to the conclusion that it is
imperative that we all get behind an initiative to pass legislation against
farting in LA. Considering that it is against the law to smoke, eat, drink,
weed whack, broil, drive ride, climb, fall, or otherwise have fun or
accomplish anything in CA, I find it outrageous that we have overlooked this
devastating contributor to the demise of the breathable atmosphere in LA and
the innocent folks downwind in Phoenix.
Let's all get together and contact our favorite BMW driving politician in
CA. (I cleaned that one up)
By the way, I'd like to thank all you environmentalists in CA for
constructing even more clean electricity generating windmills outside Palm
Springs and selling it all cheap to us folks in the East, even while you
suffer rolling blackouts and sky-rocketing power costs. Real nice of you!
I'm sure you have a plan, even though it eludes the rest of us. Just
continue to sit in the dark out there and rant against power plants in your
neighborhood, and eventually it'll dawn on you.

It's all fun and game 'til someone can't have their cappuccino or
latte from Starbucks' industrial size electric coffee maker.
