Notes |
Early in his first term in the White House, Ronald Reagan made a comment to the effect that trees produce air pollution. The news media howled at his gaffe. But a few weeks ago, in a surprise that shocked many ecologists, a scientific study revealed that trees emit methane, a greenhouse gas that traps sunlight even more effectively than carbon dioxide does and helps to produce global warming. |
