1. The European Biomass Industry Association did a study to see whether switching to biomass fuels could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I wonder what their conclusion was. I can certainly see the advantages of biomass over fossil fuels, but you'd think the WWF could find a co-sponsor with a little less of a vested interest in the outcome, to give their finding a bit more credibility.

2. Wanting to eliminate fire is like "wanting to have a turkey on Christmas Day, despite the fact that it's 35 degrees." A nice analogy for people who brought their British views of the environment and holidays to the Southern Hemisphere.

3. There's a major fire in New Mexico, luckily burning in a mostly rural area.
