[at-l] Endangered Parks List

[cleek@cleekhouse.com (Billie H. Cleek)]

I understand that the engines are different, but I'd still like to see
some numbers.  How much pollution is generated in a snowmobile-hour?
How much pollution is generated by an automobile-hour?  How many
snowmobile-hours on average are done in Yellowstone every year?  How man
automobile-hours are done in Denver or Atlanta every year?  Have you
ever driven in Denver or Atlanta?  Those cities are crazy with the
traffic, it's hard for me to believe that the parallel exists as the
report claims..
