So falling temperatures proves global warming, deforestation creates global warming... and growing trees creates global warming.

Got it.

George Orwell predicted all this with:

2+2=5 (if the party says so)

Part of the motivation for this sudden trees-are-bad insight is that the US is one of the few countries with large forests and the US-hating libs don’t want us to get credit for that.

All the liberal earth worshippers should move to the Sahara or Gobi deserts to set an example of the perfect lifestyle in the perfect environment.

Those advocating tree-planting and trying to stop logging in the name of the environment never made much sense.

If they really wanted to remove more CO2 from the atmosphere, they would advocate logging as many mature trees as possible. That is because mature trees do not remove net CO2 from the air—only growing trees remove net CO2 since they use it to make the permanent structures like trunk and branches. As long as that CO2 remains locked up in the wood, it is not contributing to the CO2 content of the atmosphere.

There has never been consistency between liberal words and deeds.

How many of the Climate Change morons walked or rode a bicycle to the march yesterday? This has little to do with climate and everything to do with bringing our economy to third-world status so it’s “fair.”

So what happens to all of that money for “offsets” that planted trees to make up for carbon use? Was the money wasted? Should they no longer be sold?

These people are batsh*t insane and change their “scientific opinion” every 5 minutes, I would take the word of a tv “psychic” or voodoo priest over a “climate scientist”.

Creating an excuse for an increase in CO2 by reducing the numbers of the very organisms that consume CO2 as part of their respiration?
