Why the hell are you gloating about this?
The article doesn't debate global warming - in fact it accepts anthropogenic global warming as fact!
The only thing it discusses is whether or not planting trees will help reduce global warming. And you're happy that it won't?
Nice attitude, buddy. Yay it's going to be harder to prevent catastrophic climate change. That's awesome!

So many people say to plant trees to fight global warming, but it won't work. When the trees die of old age, they decay and release greenhouse gasses. In the long run, trees produce no net CO2 sink.

We've known this for a long time. CO2 is not the limiting factor to plant growth in nature; adding more to the air isn't going to have much effect on it. This article tells us nothing new.

I guess the contrarians have their own definition of the word "fact"? I don't see how this was ever a "fact". It was an attempt a couple of years ago by Europeans to address the CO2 problem, but the economics don't work (even though the trees do). Pretty old news.

You do realize that you're argument adds credibility to the idea of global warming rather than taking away from it. It is those who deny global warming who have been saying "don't worry about carbon, plants need it, don't you love plants... etc".
The way to reduce green house gasses is to reduce green house gas emissions, which is what climate change advocates have been saying for decades.

There's no way this question ADDS to the argument of a bunch of tree huggers.
Al Gore won't even sit down and talk to scientists who question his methods.
Oh, I get it. We're supposed to just sit here and believe whatever he says in the name of science, never mind NONE of it can be proven.

Wow, why are you in such denial?
