I have to butt in. Burning things that come from the natural environment do not add CO2 to the atmosphere. That happens as a result of burning fossil fuels that have locked these molecules out of the natural ecosystem for millions of years.
So long as the materials burned in yagyas have no petroleum base, there is not a problem. The flames liberate an equal amount of CO2 to the carbon and oxygen absorbed during the lives of the plants or animals that ate them (e.g., ghi from cow's milk). A little petroleum is used in the transportation of the materials involved. That's about it. --- In [email protected], "shempmcgurk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If new.morning and co. were truly interested in combatting manmade > global warming they would henseforth demand and insist that any yagyas > that they participate in or pay for no longer burns candles or camphyr > or anything else during the ceremonies as these things unnecessarily > add to global warming. >
