  Plant-life factor

  The lack of plant foliage, especially that of trees, is an important component in why the air seems more polluted in winter. The filtering and oxygen-supplying that the trees perform is absent in winter, so along with more carcinogenic pollutants from autos and trucks, we also have more carbon dioxide. This lack of oxygen directly affects the human body's ability to burn waste products. On Umbra on air quality and temperature posted 1 year ago 11 Responses

  War is NOT the Answer!

  I am aghast that Bill Clinton made the statement at the end of this
  excerpt from a piece in the Chicago Tribune. Want to jump-start a
  failed economy? Start a war! Is he trying to get us acclimated to the
  idea of attacking Iran? Maybe a few other countries, just to make
  it "worthwhile"? Are you still voting for Hillary?
