If we planted one tree for every human on Earth, all of CO2 release per year would be absorbed by those trees.

If TPTB cut down all the forests on purpose, what happens?

They are fracking devious are they not?

At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home & our being, drive a spear into the land, & say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government & corporations, "thus far & no farther." — Edward Abbey

I thought something similar when I saw a large forest get cut down across the street. I read in the paper that a green building was going up. It was made from recycled materials. They leveled a whole forest and then put up a very large concrete building. Then they had an article in the paper touting how it was green because it was a green building (using their terms for what designates a green building). In reality what happened was a large forest was cut down, to be replaced by a dull drab looking but very large concrete building. I don't really see that much green in the process except what may be lining someone's pockets. I think that's what it all comes down to.
