The Concern for Global Warming in 1 Picture

If your If were a fifth we'd be drunk too



Not at the same rate as it takes to cut them idiot :lol:



Can trees grow faster than we can cut them down? No...Thats the point.

We can cut between 5 and 7% of the world's forests/year and have sustainable forests. People know this; people that sell lumber know this and they still want to sell lumber 50 years from now.

Id say thats thanks to tree huggers aka enviro-nuts making it an issue to begin with IMO

Not at all. It's a matter of agricultural efficiency and simple resource management by lumber and paper companies. It makes more sense to cut and replant about 5% of your holdings/year and keep prices high than to clear cut and have a glut on lumber that will force prices down. About all the tree huggers have done is to put a bunch of loggers in Oregon out of work over some owls.
 
Considering that the US forest Service sells public timber for less than Georgia Pac can sprout it, there would be more trees if the govt wasnt giving them away......
