Snow White

When I was a child in Western Pennsylvania if it snowed, the next day there would be a layer of black soot covering what had fallen. Three days ago here in Boston we had six inches of global warming fall. And today I noticed with pleasure that it was still crystal white as snow.

Granted we no longer have coal furnaces and coke ovens here in Massachusetts. But it is clear that our air, even in Pittsburgh, is a lot cleaner than it once was. And, if we could pipe natural gas into the Bay State, we might be even cleaner. Even if we are still “polluting” our air with carbon dioxide ... the basis of all life ... things are much better than in Beijing.
