Um. Igor? You are talking about carbon DIoxide, but showing pictures of carbon MONoxide. Two different things. I think it is carbon dioxide that is the principle greenhouse gas though not positive on this. And anyway, the high levels in the south were caused by forest fires which are shortterm, even if they do pump out a lot at the time. What industrial countries pump out is long term, and persistant. This is not to say that the forest fires are not seriously damaging to the environment, 'cos they ARE, but the planet is accustomed to dealing with it. What it is NOT accustomed to is the steadily increasing pollution caused by the increasing combustion of fossil fuels.

Oh, and

WELCOME

to the board!
