Hi Ken,
That is the way I feel about it! If we weren't here to mess with it, natural creation would still break down organic matter and make the earth richer for it. I have seen forests that were burned down and it takes them a very long time to reestablish themselves.
The soil is filled with zillions of small micro and macro organism's that were created to do the specific job of breaking all this stuff down. All this green washing about Carbon etc can be summed up in a simple phrase.
Get rid of all gas and diesel burning vehicle's replace them with cleaner vehicle's and viola' your problem will go away. 75% of all homes in the NE are heated with oil, develop an alternative clean source of heating fuel that will work with what most folks already have in their homes. Bio fuel, bio diesel? Make it cheap and plentiful.
There is another source, that will take a lot of bad crap out of the air, So what is holding this back? It should be simple to guess. We are being held hostage by big companies that make a lot of bucks on the bad fuel and they pay the Government big bucks to keep it that way. Oil, and dirty energy greases the hands of this government.

Why burn up organic matter that the soil needs. That is what nature would do with it.Ken
