Don't forget about that pesky water vapor that contributes up to 70% of total greenhouse gases:

While I can appreciate all of the eco-freakyness about global warming as an aerial applicator by trade I don't appreciate the use of an aerial application aircraft picture being used in a generally negative article about the use of chemicals. Especially when it doesn't even have any direct link to the use of these specific products.
Of the four products listed in the article only two have current labels under those trade names and neither of those two have an aerial label.
Another thing is that there is a 50% chance that all that airplane in the icture is putting out is an organic product or liquid fertilizer and all of you are assuming that it must be putting out something that kills you.
Let's tighten this ship up around here and get our facts straight. Fumigants get put out by the Orkin man not an Air Tractor. I'll expect that the picture gets changed to one of a guy in a Tyvek suit with rubber boots and a full face respirator with a wand in his hand.
It's this kind of ignorant reporting that gets the general public falsely freaked out about my trade. Half of my work every year I don't have anything more than grass seed in the hopper trying to rehabilitate fire burnt hillsides. But I'm yellow so I must be doing something bad, right? Like the black guy walking on the dark street at 3 a.m. He must be breaking the law, right?
Nothing like false profiling to sensationalize an idea.
