Trees are a renewable resource. Cut the big ones down and plant little ones so that it can be done again some day. A "thick forest" isn't any good to anyone until it's made "less thick". Simply saving trees for the sake of saving trees is idiotic.

Interesting. Yesterday that guy said the world's oil reserves are three times what they thought. Today the forrests are back. Tomorrow global warmning will be debunked.
The stock market is rolling up, economy is great, unemployment way down.
The dems are gonna take credit for it all!!

This is not good. We need to figure out how we can turn this into another bad effect of Global Warming (or as we say in Texas, weather)

I worked with guys who did high-production timber harvesting up in Vermont. The hippies gave us crap, but i reminded them that vermont has 3 times as much forest now as it did in 1850. The couldn't say much after that.

LOL< Geez! I drilled right through all kinds of historic crap in boston working on the big dig. If anyone knew, we'd get shut down for a historic review. pottery, all kinds of conatiners, silverwear. It all got loaded out as fast as possible to never be seen again, except the cobblestones which my crew used for their driveways.

Greenhoses are my favorites. ;-)

As I understand the Kyoto Protocol, the United States was not allowed to use its massive woodlands as "carbon sinks," simply because Europe has no more forests.
So we can assume that this news will have absolutely no affect on the global warming craze.
We're just not European enough. Go figure.
To: blam
The authors say factors behind reforestation in North America and Europe range from increased conservation and farming productivity to a decline in newsprint demand following the rise of electronic media.Ouch! The DBM might want to put some ice on that.
