Hi everyone This discussion was on the radio - are there more forest fires now because of global warming...the answer is - no...the temp. of the globe does not cause forest fires. Of the given quantity of fires burning right now, 300+, less than half were caused by lightning; the rest were caused by human error.
It is useful to know that forest fires aren't necessarily a bad thing - in Nature, they are part of the forest cycle; regrowth occurs, thus a redistribution of vegetation and animal species; devastating at the time, but healthy in the long run. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
