    Default More trees do not always create a cooler planet, geographer finds

    .
    This is especially true in the case of the Amazonian rainforest, wonder what Hollywood hypocrites like DiCaprio and politicians like Kerry will do now to justify their hypocrisy? It's good to see that yet another of the Left's favourite lies being destroyed.

    New research by Christopher A. Williams, an environmental scientist and professor in Clark University's Graduate School of Geography, reveals that deforestation in the U.S. does not always cause planetary warming, as is commonly assumed; instead, in some places, it actually cools the planet. A peer-reviewed study by Williams and his team, "Climate Impacts of U.S. Forest Loss Span Net Warming to Net Cooling," published today (Feb. 12) in Science Advances. The team's discovery has important implications for policy and management efforts that are turning to forests to mitigate climate change.

    No Climate Cultist will read that, Tom.

    BTW, I heard that grass holds on to the evil CO2 forever, unlike the sacred and holy trees that Climate Cultists revere.

    Is that true?

    Sounds like Reagan lying about trees causing pollution.

    Pretty sure this isn't Earth shaking news. Effects of deforestation have been studied for ages.

    Could well be true, however rainforests have many other uses like preserving flora and fauna as well as being a valuable source for new drugs.

    Really, so why do the likes of Obama, Al Gordo, Slo Jo et al call the Amazonian rainforest the Earth's lungs then?

    More carbon is sequestered in the planet’s soils than in living plants and the atmosphere combined.

    There are roughly 3 trillion trees on Earth — more than seven times the number previously estimated — according to a tally1

    I say we should shut down the expensive and detrimental "SAVE THE PLANET!!!!" programs till the experts get a better grasp of what is going on, better learn how things work.

    .
    Boreal forests do have a net benefit for capturing and storing CO2 but you rarely hear that from the likes of Sting or DiCaprio.
