Trees are loaded with carbon.

Pass it on.

Wouldn’t that be like an extra blanket of insulation, warming the earth up? OMG, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

And, if you add in the number of alleged humans who are as dumb as trees, the figure gets even higher.

What’s up with that? Were they hiding in caves or something?

So estimates of naturally produced CO2 vs man-made are off by an order of magnitude, given that trees are the largest source by far of CO2?

Those darn trees. They take CO2 and make O2. My climate change models are really messed up now. How am I going to get money for my next research project and convince the world that we need global socialism to save the planet?

Global Warming -> Higher CO2 -> More and More Trees -> Humanity overwhelmed by Trees -> DEATH

Coming soon to a college course, the NYT and many others.

I recall and old Rush segment from long ago, where he was TRUMPETING similar findings just for the North American continent alone, since the colonial days.

While the density of foliage was surprisingly high overall, the researchers cautioned that global vegetation is still in decline.

While it may surprise some, trees grow back.

3 trillion? Wow, but that number is dropping as we speak.

Good. Now I can feel less guilty about having four trees cut down in my yard recently. (Three were too close to the house, the fourth was a Bosnian pine tree which I suspected of Islamist sympathies.)

....three trillion trees yet there are numbnuts who will sit in a tree to protest because it will be cut down.

And here is the Daily Mail with an article saying that we are destroying 15 billion trees a year.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3219790/Number-trees-Earth-HALVED-beginning-human-civilisation-15-billion-lost-YEAR.html

And how does anyone know how many trees have grown since or before human civilization came about.

One would think that this is another demonstration why the climate models are wrong.
