What a load of nonsense. Trees don't produce any net oxygen at all.
"Even if we were to burn ...all our trees, and all the organic matter stored in soils, we would use up only a few percent of the available O2."
People with only a grade-school understandingof the subject really shouldn't post in public forums.

nonsense. how it come we dont suffocate overnight, you silly kid?? thats longer than 10 minutes, who told you this nonsense. or do you assume that the air would travel from places where it is daytime? that would have to be pretty strong wind and all the trees would break....LOL
when you say "breath" you mean photosynthesis? cause breathing is actually the reverse process,, the respiration that consumes oxygen!!
i am always amazed that no matter how serious busines greenhouse effect, C2 emmissions, etc is, that people dont know the basic stuff about it and fall for any misconceptions...please read what other have said and learn from it. hey, nobody says that trees are not important, but i would rather say plants are important because they can photosynthesize.

Actually about 75-80% of the O2 in the atmospere gets produed by diatoms in the ocean, not trees. That's why global warming is such a big deal because as the water level rises, the salinity decreases and it could start killing the diatoms.

It is not complete true. If I ask you to compare the size between continent and ocean, you will say ocean is bigger than continent.
Why I ask this question?
There are such simple living organisms that live in the surface ocean called alge. They do like plant/tree using photosynthesis to produce food for them.
It is estimated that algae produce about 73 to 87 percent of the net global production of oxygen.
Those are the major contributor of oxygen!

A statement that "without plants to produce nutrients from CO2 and H2O (and other trace elements), all animals would starve" would be closer to reality. The biosphere existed before the evolution of trees.

All plant life rules simply because they are the ones that produce oxygen. Nothing else makes it or rather refines it. All green things take all of the CO2 that humanity produces and turns it into O2. They were doing that before the evolution of other forms of life.

not true, although you might this would happen, you dont take into account the abundance of oxygen in the atmosphere ( a stagering 80%) also think about marine animals, they use oxygen in the water, thus a whole ocean is full of oxygen.
