WTF is Climate Change?

Middlebury College gets nearly all of its power from our Biomass plant, which heats woodchips to create energy. As a result we are on pace to become carbon neutral in 2016.
Sounds like the destruction of the forest. -

"Since 2009, the biomass system has reduced the College’s carbon emissions by nearly 40 percent and the use of #6 fuel oil by one-half, or about a million gallons per year. On average, over the past four years, this has saved the College well over $1 million in fuel costs. Some 20,000 tons of woodchips, harvested within 75 miles of campus, are used annually in lieu of that oil. According to the latest Forest Inventory Analysis by the U.S. Forest Service, that amount represents less than 1 percent of the area’s net forest growth (growth minus removals/harvest).RaceBannon said:Middlebury College gets nearly all of its power from our Biomass plant, which heats woodchips to create energy.

Are you even trying? -
If only everybody used wood chips for fuel. The world would be a much better place.

I like to say that burning wood on a global scale will reduce carbon.
Why do I need to try. CollegeDoogFS -
It's an example of an ambitious attempt at sustainable energy working.RaceBannon said:I like to say that burning wood on a global scale will reduce carbon.

You might want to stop before you embarrass yourself further. -

It's fucking data.
Christ! -
Sample size is data too you fucking moron
