Liberals try to bury Canada Day eco-fees mess: Cohn | Toronto Star Eco-fees were an eco-disaster. Now the stars may be in alignment over landfills, writes The Star’s Martin Regg Cohn.

Power outage in some parts of Toronto today due to the rain. Really makes you think about all the damage that pollution does to Mother Nature.

Scientists have long known that air pollution affects weather, but previous studies produced conflicting results, with some showing that more air pollution made storms stronger and others showing that less air pollution strengthens storms.

Essentially, the team found that water releases heat when it condenses around aerosol particles, which boosts convection and increases updraft speed. Evaporating water droplets cool the surrounding air, which reduces updrafts.

"Aerosols in the air change the cloud properties, but the changes vary from case to case. With detailed cloud modeling, we found an important factor regulating how aerosols change storms and precipitation,” says atmospheric scientist Jiwen Fan of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Householders continue to see plastic as wicked and paper-based goods as benign. But when considered over the entire life of the packaging, paper and cardboard embody far more greenhouse gases than their plastic equivalents. Paper products take substantial amounts of energy to make. Crushing a tree down into small fibres, mixing the wood pulp into a slurry and then passing the wet mass through huge rollers cannot be done without use of enormous quantities of power. Making paper and cardboard is almost certainly the third largest industrial use of energy on the planet. By contrast, plastic is light, durable and its manufacture is generally not particularly energy intensive – at least by comparison to paper. A second concern is that many paper and cardboard products end up in landfills where they rot down anaerobically, creating the greenhouse gas methane in the process. Plastic, as is well known, doesn't rot and sequesters its carbon for ever. Of course, not all end up in the garbage as many responsible individuals recycle. Recycling is good but reusing is better!!! Please share this to inform your friends and family. Together we can be a part of the solution!
