Nasa study shows tropical forests absorb 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 a year Rainforests absorb more than half of CO2 taken up by vegetation globally Scientists previously believed tropical forests emitted carbon dioxide Researchers claim their findings emphasise the need to protect rainforests from deforestation to help counteract human greenhouse gas emissions

    What the............. Somebody is kidding us right? We all know that evil rainforests harbor evil things. Right? And since they mention Nasa instead of NASA, they've gotta be pulling our collective leg. Right? Must be Brit humor.

    Plants don't like CO2, that's just a right-wing conspiracy. The only way we can save the trees is to eliminate all the CO2 and ban guns.

    Jaw-dropping, drooling, pie-eyed drivel.
These “scientists” are rabidly insane.

    Well, science advisor holdren does want to reduce the carbon output to near zero by 2100. I’ll do him a favor and promise I won’t contribute by then. I’ll just go on my 152nd birthday. :>}

    Yeah, but you used NASA data instead of Nasa data as the brits always do. Can’t tell an acronym without a script I guess.

    Fair Plan 5: A Critical Appraisal of Five Congressional Bills to Reduce US CO2 Emissions
  
 ... US Congressional climate bill, H.R.5271 in 2014, proposes to reduce US emissions of carbon dioxide relative to their 2005 value by 80% in 2050. This bill does not provide a rationale for this rapid phase down of CO2 emissions. ... 
  
 and 3) The phase out of CO2 emissions begins as late as possible in the 21st century ... and reduces the worlds emissions to zero in 2100. ... 
 [Emphasis added.] 
 By meeting the zero mark in the year 2100, these idiots will be long dead and, thus, not responsible for the damages they caused. 
 
 Of course, these are idiots probably closely related to the Zero Population idiots who would not mind seeing their policies and plans result in a life-free planet. Without CO2, we could well be on our way to becoming the new Mars by 2100 or shortly thereafter. Isn't that something to look forward to.

    What the hell? You mean the science wasn't even settled on THAT??? Time to either fix the models or falsify the data.

    Well this just won’t sit well with the whole algore carbon credit shakedown racket meme, will it.
Wonder when this Holdren guy will be found dead on a park bench, with six bullet holes in the back of the head, and it will be ruled a “suicide”.
A lot of big money players have huge stakes in the whole global warming/climate change money racket, and they can’t afford to have the koolaid drinkers being disillusioned, and/or realize that they’re being used as useful idiots.

    Going back to my Science 101 in junior high school, I was taught that plants TAKE IN carbon dioxide and GIVE OFF oxygen. When did rain forests not contain plants — grasses, vines, trees — green stuff? When did these so called scientists think the plants were giving off carbon dioxide and taking in oxygen? Has anyone ever heard of photosynthesis? Did these “scientists” get their basics from a prize in a box of Cracker Jack?
To: rktman
    OK, are we to assume that these “scientists” did not know how to apply a process that has worked — photosynthesis — for tens of thousands of years? Where did these people get this idea that photosynthesis did not apply to tropical rain forests? What about nontropical rain forests? At the very least, a thinking person has to question if they were this wrong about something so basic, what other wrong things are they passing off as “fact”? Getting it so wrong on the basics invalidates any subsequent “findings”.
    The real problem is man made oxygen

    Here is a simple way to overload the warmunists and possibly cause their heads to pop. Just have them answer the following:
1. Define the correct temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the correct humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the correct mean sea level for the planet
4. Define the correct amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the correct makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the correct amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

    And...
 8. Define where you got your sources for this information.
 9. How do we know what the optimal conditions for the planet are? After all, mean temperatures, for example, have changed over millennia WITHOUT human intervention.
