If CO2 is a product of trees, and man starts planting trees, is the increase in CO2 and associated globull warming man made? Alternatively, if we want to reduce the carbon footprint, shouldn't we cut down as many trees as possible? /s

EVERYBODY BREATHE!!
What the enviros really fear is the vegetatable competition for control of the plantet.
Wow. Actual evidence and data based scientific conjecture. No rigged computer models involved. So refreshing.
The world is just now starting to repair an EPOCH level CO2 DROUGHT.
Everyone forgets about the Oceans and the green plants therein. About 70 per cent of the oxygen that you breath in every time you take a breath, comes from the Oceans. The oceans also absorb carbon dioxide, more when their temperature is lower.
My gardening fiends are especially happy with their results this year.
Another fact that is conveniently ignored is that CO2 is FOOD for plants, and not poisonous.
Oxygen, in large quantities, is toxic and destructive.
Most of the ‘air’ you breathe is made of Nitrogen. Oxygen is only about 20% of what we breathe.
The climate is constantly changing, but there is no downside to planting more trees.
... also I should add.
If anything, we need to limit the amount of oxygen in the air. Just a little bit TOO much and BOOM !!!!!!!!!! We could actually set the SKY on FIRE.

Just a couple of decades ago they were saying the Arctic tundra was dying because of too much Canadian Goose Poop, and it would never recover!
As proof of the danger of too much oxygen, the reading public simply needs to remember back to the Apollo Capsule explosion back in 1967.
One single spark exploded the whole capsule and killed all three astronauts.
Which was DUE to the FACT that the capsule had been pressurized with almost pure oxygen.
Oxygen is such a destructive and volatile element. Starting at 20% of the volume of air, we then must reduce the amount of that that actually gets extracted by our lungs (easily less than half, worse if you smoke).
So, we are talking an extremely small amount of oxygen transferred into our circulatory system.
Yet, that very small amount of oxygen (because it BURNS so easily) supplies the ENERGY for every cell in our body.
Old news to many who got a passing grade in science class.
There is a downside to trees if you are a species that needs glades, bogs and prairies, etc.
Photosynthesis provides the equilibrium. It is the equalizer.
O2 is only about 21% of the atmosphere.
Yup.PHOTOSYNTHESIS
