#2 What a crock of BS! I first roast marshmallows on Alki in about 1959. That beach is always full of driftwood; fire makers do the city a favor.

Concerned about CO2 emissions: blame the Oceans. 99.999% of same come from them.

We are in a post Ice Age period, but mini Ice Ages have been recorded since, as in the early 16th century when London's Thames River froze over for several years in a row. The phenomena that produces same is unknown. Give us another mini, so we can shut up the doom sayers.

#5 If the wood is not burned it will decay. Either way the same heat and the same CO2 will be released - either in an hour or in a few years, but the effect on something as big as the atmosphere is the same. The correct answer is to neither burn it nor leave it to rot, but to sequester it someplace without access to oxygen.

#6 Let's send it to space! There is no oxygen there! Brilliant!
