"the forest cannot withstand more than two consecutive years of drought without breaking down"

Anyone know yet that it's BUSH'S fault?

I want to know who or what is responsible for my finding fossilized sea shells many places here in central Indiana.

Could it possibly be that there was once an ocean here?

Wasn't there a recent finding that Antarctica was a jungle, um rain forest at some point?

Or was it that Antarctica was a dessert? No wait, that was Alaska, baked. Antarctica might have been a desert.

Sometimes, when the boy cries wolf, there really is a wolf.

Even if the boy is wearing a rainbow t-shirt, doesn't bathe, and lives in a tree. :)

Don't forget to look at methane sinks. It tends to break down quickly (and warming, manmade or not, increases the rate of break down). My major point about forests still holds, if you want global cooling it is better to burn them.
