Where was that headline? And why single out jack o lanterns? Not enough info for me to even start to have an opinion.

Pumpkins are a healthy treat. The flesh and the seeds are filled with so much goodness.
I didn't see the story about pumpkins, but I do wonder about Christmas trees that are cut down just for holiday decoration.
Ducking now!

Simply google "global warming" + "Jack-O-Lanterns" and you'll see the article.

Yes, Christmas trees get cut down, but THEY GET REPLACED BY NEW SAPLINGS WHICH GROW INTO NEW CHRISTMAS TREES. It is not a matter of cutting down trees and denudding a forest. The trees do get replaced.

@sfnativeTY--will read
So-- I went and read the article --and now I'm just shaking my head. Seems to me whoever started this was desperate for a headline and didn't really care how much real science was behind it.
Sure, the vegetation will rot eventually, but I think the man who said grass clippings and other yard trimmings are a much greater problem. No one has figured out how to deal with them either.
Enjoy your jack o lanterns. You can do plenty of things to make up for the "sin" of contributing to global warming with them. Drive your car 2 miles less, turn your heat down 2 degrees or turn your AC up 2 degrees, etc.
