According to our resident Communists, we are also losing rain forests by the double handfuls, even though we are awash in unwanted CO2..

Any guess on who's lying?

Well with increased CO2 its possible to grow more plant matter on less land. I suppose its possible that the amount of land that they classify as “rain forest” (e.g. jungle) may be decreasing, but I have not looked into it so am not sure—but if so, having more CO2 will help mitigate the damage to animal and plant populations.
