Global warming hardest hit. Will the NY Times give in to the 'consensus'? Oh, I doubt it. The ONE thing they could do to help the planet survive and they'll opt out.

Well, actually the trees are cut down and sliced into lumber for construction. The sawdust and wood left over from the process are turned into paper.

So the lumber companies aren’t wasting any material/resources.

Much of the newsprint IS recycled paper, anyway.

[Yaelle]

Um.

Don’t we print a zillion less newspapers now than 2o years ago?

Don’t we use about 1/1zillion of the paper we used to in society?

Why bitch about the very small amount of tree supplied paper we still use?

[EvilCapitalist]

Isn’t there a video on youtube about hippies crying over dead trees?

Slow down and maybe eliminate Gorebull Warming by cancelling all of your news paper/magazine subscriptions.

Also, never buy a copy of Gorebull warming from a news stand.

Just say no to any paper fake news!

[Persevero]

Those trees have families. Dreams. Lives. The horror.

Pssst ... esparto grass ...

Trees killed? Should we charge the lumber companies for Xylocide (Murder of Trees)? Maybe the NYTimes should be printed on clay tablets!!

“I repeat: 500,000 trees.”

Yeah, right. “500,000” Boy, that sure sounds scary.

3.14 * 62 * (60 * 12) = 81,430.

One tree makes 81,000 pieces of paper.

81000×500, 000 = 41 billion pieces of paper. I don’t think a Sunday NYT needs forty one billion pages.

The author is crazy and probably bad at math, too.

[mrsmith]

What do I call killing 500,000 trees a week?
...A good start!

[Osage Orange]

There’s still an NEWs outfit...sending paper to people?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Sob! All these beautiful, irreplaceable, old-growth, millennia-old redwood trees dying for our Sunday newspapers. It's so tragic, I tell you!

[kevao]

Those trees, and everything else on the planet, only had 11.59 years left until the end anyway.

[kevao]

Are those true facts or pulp fiction?

[dead]

Do you know how many pleathers are slaughtered to make a single Michelle Obama boob belt?

[ADemocratNoMore]

> ...the Canadian Boreal Forest—a global treasure, the last frontier of northern forest wilderness.

The East Siberian taiga, all 1,500,000 sq miles of it doesn’t count ?

[JimRed]

For each 500K they cut down they plant a million.

[seawolf101]

Eliminate toilet paper. All those trees killed.

[joma89]

And 1,000,000 are planted to replace them. Leftists are just dumb.
