Colorado's great outdoors best enjoyed inside
Speaking of global warming (and we were), The Denver Post reports that we probably shouldn't go outside anymore:
As of Wednesday, the region has exceeded federal health-based standards for ozone 13 times. Last year, that level was exceeded eight times.
Driving concern about ozone this year is the unexpected increase in ozone-forming vapors from oil and gas operators in Weld and Adams counties.
The health department's air quality control division initially projected flash emissions would equal 146 tons a day in 2007. That number is closer to 236 tons a day given the industry's growth.
What's going on here? Could it be the EPA isn't doing its job? Or maybe coal-burning utilities are funding anti-global warming research?
Nah. Must be a natural cycle or something. Best to just ignore it.
