Mike Clarke winds up with an interesting comment-

“I however understand that the major Greenhouse gas is water vapour. I am curious to understand how the extensive and on-going deforestation are effecting the planet, and hope that the study of the global climatic effects of deforestation are seriously studied in the future”.

Mike: We need another discussion stream on this matter, water vapour is frequently overlooked in many comments on greenhouse gases.

Let’s have something solid on this one soon.

I am a woods man in all of this

Mike: Can we look deeper? From a METTS Doc. Bushfire, Storms and Soil Erosion - “The optimal situation is to schedule controlled burning during periods of light rain, with minimal disturbance of decomposing leaf-litter and cryptogams”.

Wild fire is my major concern today. Can we say a bushfire behaves like a furnace on the run? Also; to stop it must we eliminate the fine fuel?

Thanks for your feedback

"Peakro asks why, ‘No words on global climate change Mike?’. Well overall I am a Greenhouse sceptic or as some would put it, a ‘denialist’!"

Well, what a surprise that an engineer, who will probably profit from the continuation of fossil fuel exploitation, is a Greenhouse sceptic.
