Evil Carbon Story

 I spent a good hour reading this piece on climate change, and trying to soak in the bottom line.

Basically, if you felt  really good and positive about having your half-acre garden and saving the Earth from carbon crap....you were lying to yourself, and creating a carbon footprint five times greater than that commercial farm operation. 

So I came to this one odd detail....carbon isn't really a bad or evil thing.  It's not exactly a demon thing worth worrying about.  

In fact, it's just odd how carbon came to be on some bad-boy list from a decade ago.  If you went back to the 1990s....no one ever wept over the bad-boy status of carbon.  

But now I wonder....if you have a bunch of folks read this news piece....will they cease their garden plots and chat over how they will only buy commercially grown food....to save the carbon problem facing the Earth?
