The biggest bang for your buck for carbon credits is planting trees," she said. That's an issue with the structure of the credits and regulations, not the science. The problem with trees is that they only soak up carbon until the forrest reaches maturity. Then they are carbon neutral. If you can go in and cut the trees down before they get old, the carbon removed from the environment is equal to the carbon hauled out of the forrest on logging trucks. But people become emotionally attached to trees and try to keep them around long after they've stopped soaking up CO2. Hehehe. Sounds like my neighbor's prized cherry tree died. It died 30 years ago but she won't cut it down. All branches but one have rotted off. It's 9' tall with a 5" max diameter. What kind of tree do you think Obama is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_X2Xd1iOmM Tree? He's less than a shrub, some sort of low growing weed. Himalayan Blackberry, a type which (theory) promises nice treats but (reality) ends up growing far beyond its means and ripping you to shreads every time you deal with it closely. Typical Demonrat. -- It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars. -- Garrison Keillor |
