Nothing like quoting a bunch of rich celebrities to really make me want to go out and not mow the lawn. I hate mowing anyway, and $3 a gallon gasoline would make me hate it more if I had a large lawn.
Trees are nature's weather stabilizers. We need trillions of trees.. new trees... The average tree creates 5 pounds of oxygen daily.
Trees are not nature's weather stabilizers. Trees don't stabilize the weather. Nothing stabilizes the weather. Weather isn't supposed to be stable. People who can't deal with the constant variability that is the weather should stay indoors and keep the thermostat in the comfort zone.

At least it sounds like this is catching on:
The Tree Solution
by Jim Wilson
As Greenpeace expanded to become the world's largest international environmental organization, Moore's star steadily rose and he eventually became vice president of research. Then he did something even more unexpected than joining the organization in the first place. He packed up and quit... In the months before his departure, Moore had begun talking heresy. "The environmental movement had gone astray and lost its perspective on forests," Moore says. "Rather than cutting fewer trees and using less wood, we should be growing more trees and using more wood." Greenpeace branded him an eco-Judas. Now comes the biggest surprise of all. Recently published research suggests that Moore is right. Cutting down old trees could be the best way to thwart global warming.

Since trees turn carbon dioxide from cars into oxygen
.. the Moore critic is not correct.

Stanley Prusiner discoverer of Mad Cow prions and Mervyn
Hardinge are 2 seekers after truth who left Harvard.
Prusiner found that Harvard was not interested in
research exposing the dangers of meat.

There are pseudoscientists everywhere, corporate whores
who twist the numbers as their paymasters want.

This includes the lumber industry which controls the
Bush regime DOI
