News Al Gore will never share.....

Supposing Ole' Pecoz told you that there was a humongous, ginormous source of global warming that you never hear Al Gore and his merry band of greenies talk about. Well, there is, but it isn't exciting to talk about and they can't use it as an excuse to regulate our lives.

I am talking about coal fires in China and India. Yes, plain old coal fires in seams of coal that have been burning since the Aztecs were throwin' nubile teenagers in the fiery pits. Caused primarily by spontaneous combustion and nere' impossible to extinguish, they are allowed to burn and pollute the area and the heavens for years. Stick this fact in your hat -- the carbon dioxide and pollutants emitted by the coal fires in China alone last year -- exceeded all of the pollutants emitted by all of the gasoline driven engines in America during the same period. And no amount of tree planting is gonna clean it up!!!

A recently American developed nitrogen laced foam will put out the fires, and has done so in a West Virginia mine. The Chinese and Indians have asked for help with this problem. The U.S. could help, so somebody please 'splain why all those Hollywoody's don't pound this inconvenient truth into Gore's wooden head and rally 'round this flag? We all know the answer - I'm just being cute..... How about a world concert tour starring Johnny Cash impressionists singing "Ring of Fire", and "John Henry" ! That'd get some attention!
