So Cut Down The Trees

For years the environmentalists have had this theory of Global Warming. It could not be proven and there was no concrete evidence but they ran with it anyway. The liberals tend to do that with things they like such as evolution. That theory has holes in it but is taught in schools while "Intelligent Design" is not taught because it is espoused by religions and can not be proven. We have heard the different theories that Global Warming is caused by too many gasses trapped in the atmosphere and in effect trapping light which turns to heat energy. Then, when scientists said the air was cleaner than before we were told that too much sunlight was adding to Global Warming. Now we have another culprit in the Global Warming debate and it turns out it is not mankind (though sunlight can not be controlled by man we were at fault for having cleaner air). That culprit....plant life.

They produce about 10 to 30 percent of the annual methane found in the atmosphere, according to researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany.

So the fact that we have more trees now than a hundred years ago indicates that reforestation has increased greenhouse gasses? Wow, all those environmentalists who went around spiking trees and committing other acts of eco-terrorism were actually responsible for more plant life being left to kill us. The loggers seem to have had it right from the start.

Perhaps we need to rethink this Kyoto idea and stay really far away from it before other countries forbid us from growing flowers and shrubbery. God forbid you plant a tree on Arbor Day, you might end up in the gulag. Of course, this could turn out to be junk science like the rest of it. Who knows, maybe they got the Korean Cloning specialist (whose research would have saved Superman) to do the research.
