OK YOU SCIENCE FANS - I HAVE A QUESTION....
Advertisements [?]
Assuming that rising greenhouse gases are to blame for global warming,

and that humanity should, could and must do something to slow it down to at least give mothernature a chance, and us a chance to adapt to our ever changing environment,

how many trees would it take to soak up our emissions today?
How many trees would or should we plant to offset co2 levels?
How much does one tree take up co2 and convert to oxygen?

You may laugh at me, and for that I do not care, but mother nature has, in most cases, far better tools to deal with than we could ever engineer.

We are all on the same page thinking we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions....but there is another element that I don't hear much about....using mother nature and trees to soak up what we generate.
