"If people are even going to bother to calculate emissions, they should at least calculate how much a country TAKES OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE! For example, even though the US is the world's largest emitter, it's massive forests still take more CO2 out of the atmosphere that it puts in. Compare that to ecologically-ruined Russia and China, who soak up very little CO2."
Very interesting. Not doubting you, but do you have a source (link) that I could provide to others to back up what you say?
I read it in Frontpage MAgazine, but it was from the Hoover Institute, and it was sourcing a March 2004 Article in Scientific American (there could hardly be a more reputable source)
