Damned wetlands

The natural products of a New Jersey swamp are being blamed for the smell that’s afflicted New York City recently:

January 9, 2007 — Who cut the cheese?

New Jersey, apparently.

Across the length and breadth of Manhattan, people were asking, “What’s that smell?” after a pungent odor like natural gas or rotten eggs blanketed the borough and northern New Jersey for three hours yesterday morning.

By evening, the answer seemed to be a stinky gas emitted by a New Jersey swamp or marsh.

You start preserving wetlands, then all hell breaks loose.   First it’s trees causing pollution now this.

BTW they do cause global warming, you know.
