An Open Letter


Dear Ms Holden

Toxic Trees?

I was interested to read your panic stricken press release on the same
day as Dr Keppler's research results were published that suggested
plants may release enough methane to account for 10 to 30 per cent
produced each year around the planet. In the light of this I think it
is extremely irresponsible for you to try to contradict the findings
to protect your own interests.


SNIP Rant

Where I live the pressure on small woodland for development of tens of
thousands of new houses is very real and present landowners are of
course tempted to sell.

Personally I would prefer we keep the limited amount of woodland we
have and that the houses are built up in your neck of the woods, so to
speak, where the 4 million of you can pick and choose where to roam.

The main problem is too many people but that's for another group.
