Yours is a rather typical of city people who have very little, if not no understanding of forestry, silvaculture, and forest eco systems.

“All the more reason not to do so much logging”

Wood and wood resources are absolutely essential to the health and well being of humans..always has been, always will be.

Stay in the city.

Now that you haven’t made your case, you assert baldly.

Trees are essential to the planet. They convert carbon dioxide to oxygen and photosynthesize. They filter out pollutants and prevent flooding and erosion. 100%. But logging is less vital now than it once was. Petroleum has made horses obsolete, and thereby reduced pollution, and has also reduced the need for wood, and also made whaling obsolete.

Global warming is a load of obsolete horse-sh!t designed to empower the elites who have too much power already. There is no way that advanced and developing societies can make do without petroleum and natural gas. We could get along quite well without cutting down a lot of trees. Some trees, however, would have to be harvested just for the sake of the trees, and as long as they’re cut down, we might as well use them for whatever it is that they are still useful for, such as making paper and sawdust.
