While a good deal of it is burned off as waste (which, BTW, also happens in naturally occurring forest fires) most of the wood is made into lumber, which is then turned in a variety of human constructions. A tree which dies naturally simply decays and releases its carbon back into the atmosphere as CO2 and methane.
The wood of a tree made into a house can last several hundred years beyond the lifetime of the trees from which it is made. Indirectly, making houses (and other long-lasting constructs) out of wood ends up sequestering carbon.
I posted data and charts with references. what did you post?
Trees grow back after we cut them too. Maybe not in countries with populations that are ignorant or corrupt, but that's not the fault of everyone. We aren't the world's police. We Must all take care of our resources.
Are you for real? Do you know how long it takes for forests to develop? You understand that trees that are over a 100 years old are secondary products from like trees before them? And they grew WITHOUT industrial pollutants dumping on them. Do you think the sprigs stomped in the ground in the 70's have fully grown, and the surrounding eco-system as well, to the same level that took CENTURIES to develop? If you do, then there's a bridge in Brooklyn I can let you have cheap.
And stop believing lying scientists who Mann-ufacture studies. And stop believing scientists are anymore honest than anyone else in the world... they're humans... they're gonna be dishonest
You idiot, pollution has nothing to do with the faulty theory of CO2 concentration controlling climate changes.
WTF is wrong with you that you can't follow what the argument is about?
Adjust the tinfoil hat, you simpleton. Because only a simpleton would state that pollution has nothing to do with CO2 levels.
What do you think the whole issue regarding auto emissions has been about the last 30 years, master mind?
How in the fuck do you think oxygen is a part of our atmosphere if the oceans are polluted or the forest hit with acid rain? Do you know how oxygen/CO2 is part of the plants and oceans? Didn't you read the information in the link I provided to that imbecile Good Luck regarding ocean pollutions effect on plankton and algae? Because as GL squawked, the ocean is a part of the oxygen exchange.
Tinfoil, you are a fool. Grow up and learn how to do proper research and critically think.
Dude looks like a lady
LOL. I expect you'll use the "pants on fire" attack next post.Damo, you're a liar....plain and simple. I detest liars. You throw a hissy fit every blessed time you're proven wrong. Grow up...or have the last disproven, repetitive word as it means so much to you.
Just Plain Politics! - View Single Post - APP - The BBC asks "where's global warming?"
LOL. I expect you'll use the "pants on fire" attack next post.
You are pathetic.
And I would also note that you still have yet to give me a definition of "neocon" that fits your accusation.
Right, I pretty much know what people define as a Neocon. Again, he needs to make it fit the accusation. Because I point out the similarity of phrases and his partisan "translation" factor I am suddenly a "neocon". I want to know what definition of that word that particular accusation fits within. It's not a difficult question I put before him. Nothing in any of my posts suggests I support preemptive war (mostly because I don't) and certainly not within the post he suddenly got all defensive about and started flinging poo like a capuchin. However, in his post and his reaction there is abundant evidence of his hacktacularly deep flowing hypocrisy.Neocons are mostly former Liberals who decided that preemptive military action was the only way to solve the World's problems, some of them live in Colorado.

Dunce. He said pollution has nothing to do with the concept of co2 controlling climate. Learn to read.

You continually live up to your screen name. THINK, stupid, THINK.....if trees exchange CO2 for oxygen, and they are removed as industrial pollution increases CO2 levels, how does that NOT effect the climate? Same with the oceans. Only a stubborn fool would insist that atmosphere change has nothing to do with climate. Repeating your BS won't make it magically come true. Grow up.

Because the effects of CO2 forcing HAVE BEEN OVERSTATED!! AS WAS EVIDENCED BY THE HOCKEY STICK GRAPH THAT HAS BEEN DISCREDITED AND THE BRIFFA YAMAL DATA FIASCO AS WELL.
If you had bothered to actually read the source information I provided earlier, you would have noted that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH YAMAL OR THE HOCKEY STICK GRAPH. I never disputed your findings, master mind. I merely pointed out that it wasn't the be all end all regarding global warming, and I gave valid, documented evidence that proves what I earlier stated.
You are lacking in the science, buddy. You are working on disproven premises.
