Are you on the Danold "warming is a GOOD thing!" bandwagon now?

You really may be the dumbest poster here. It's close, though.

Trees don't use CO2!

Trees don't use CO2!

What? They don't use CO2 like we don't use O2...

The competition is heating up...

Duh!

Trees cause warming according to the article. I thought it was interesting.

contribute, not cause - and they do it by changing the local albedo to absorb more sun energy

 

[The Dude]

Not one mention of trees reducing co2. Shitbag science like most alarmist.

dude, go get stoned

the problem is that the trees/shrubs contribute more to warming than they reduce it by consuming co2

So reducing and increasing co2 cause global warming. Lofl
Take a spin in your smug mobile prius u loser.

I hope when I retire I have something better to do than troll a political discussion board.

I agree that trees would eventually increase albedo, but trees use carbon to grow and are sinks until they die re-emit the carbon they've sequestered. It stands to reason the carbon they remove would be greater than the miniscule difference in albedo from shrub to tree. Of course I'm applying CAGW logic which would assume carbon dioxide as the dominant forcing

Plant a tree to fight global warming. Woops.

So you troll while supposedly working, hard to do while flipping burgers
