This is hilarious!
Dishonest piece of crap by someone who refused to put their name on it.
Our family is in the tree business with three family members in the forestry business and he is full of crap. These were DISEASED trees with a FUNGUS known as heart rot
he admitted:
“This doesn’t tell us yet about what’s going on in other places,”
NO KIDDING!!!

“These “experts” didn’t know that decaying matter produces methane? Obviously, they aren’t country boys.”
It is hilarious except for the fact the piece was written by unnamed people who are obviously being dishonest to make it sound like we are DOOMED by global warming.
President Reagan said trees cause pollution and he got laughed at.
What great news! We’ve got potential energy sources seemingly falling out of the sky of late. No more peak oil!
What do whinging negative leftists do, though? Complain about tree farts.
“This is a very preliminary study, but there’s a potential for this to be widespread. What we’d like to do is put together a global assessment, looking at a bunch of questions.”
Can we all say MASSIVE GOVERMENT GRANT. And it will create thousands of NEW JOBS!
It’s a WIN-WIN
Yep, bet them crabby old apple trees of Oz could fart like a champ.
“So, all that cutting down of the rain forests in the last century was actually saving the planet.”
I’m getting a dim vision of our pal, Al Gore, wearing a pith helmet slashing his way thru a rainforest with a 3 foot machete.
I need some sleep
All this time folks been drilling the ground when all they needed was a cordless drill and head for the woods.
This sounds like a full employment program for researchers.
These dumb effers are first starting to realize this?
“there’s methane sneaking out the back door...”
snort...i’m totally stealing that line!
my grandson is getting tired of “i faarrt in your general
direction...”
You just can’t make this stuff up, ping.
Them trees are Evil. I’m tellin’ ya!
Not only are they contributing to GW with their methane emisions, but they are also smogging our air with their isoprene emissions that convert to nasty ozone.

“Isoprene - C5H8 - is released by the respiration of oak trees and is the second-most abundant naturally produced hydrocarbon (after methane) in our atmosphere,” he continued.
“After a complicated series of chemical reactions, isoprene facilitates ozone production, so increased isoprene means more ozone in the air.”
Isn’t that what Reagan said?
And like every other gubmit grant/program, not one damn thing willl be produced and we’ll end up like Easter Island with no trees.
