WE all need to start PLANTING TREES - on a WORLD-WIDE SCALE - Both DECIDUOUS & Coniferous and STOP CUTTING TREES on the same scale!

Wood burning is of value- it produces NITROGEN and POTASH which ALL VEGATATIVE /ORGANIC Matter needs to grow (BASIC SOIL NUTRIENTS)!

CLIMATOLOGISTS all over the WORLD have all pretty much agreed that even with the WORLD'S forests at their EXISTING standing- that the WORLD DOES NOT HAVE nearly enough trees to mitigate the affects of the pollution that is in this EARTH'S Atmosphere as it exists today - so why are you worried about the little c02 sequestration of only a few million acres of the North Eastern corner of the UNTED STATES??

<p>I have some more BAD News for the residents of this STATE, Country, and this planet - the WORLDS FRESH WATER SUPPLY is DWINDLING at an incredible rate (that's the water you drink-by the way) !

<p>I have some more BAD News for the residents of this STATE, Country, and this planet - the WORLDS FRESH WATER SUPPLY is DWINDLING at an incredible rate (that's the water you drink-by the way) ! One the reasons why this is happening is that the HUMAN RACE is cutting down the FORESTS for any number of reasons- in short we are DEFORESTING the Land and as a result the tree ROOTS That hold the water in the soil along with the tree CANOPY that provides shade that shields the ground from the evaporative rays of the sun -are in FACT driving the MOISTURE(h2o) further into the ground and drying up the surface of the land(s). It is absolutely VITAL that we not CLEAR -CUT our Forests & Lands such as taking place in INDIA and BRASIL and other locations on this planet.</p>
<p>The ONLY except to this rule would be to control the SPREAD of PESTULANCE or A Forest Fire ..</p>
<p>Clear cutting Forests for any reason other than those is one of the most destructive ACTS that MANKIND can inflict upon this Planet-IN MY OPINION ...</p>

<div class="xg_user_generated"><p>The pdf at the following link is now a few years old and perhaps some of the numbers have changed. But conceptually it's still valid: Maine's forest cover is huge compared to its CO2 output and while wind power would make an almost imperceptible change in Maine's CO2 ouput, it would make a sweeping change on its landscapes. Maine is doing more than its fair share in the carbon department without having to scar itself with a useless power source.…</p>

<p>I have some news for all those that want to cut LIVING TREES -IRREGARDLESS where they are - BEFORE man appeared on this PLANET the forests were MANAGING themselves and they (the FORESTS) did just fine for millons of years - in fact they thrived and left us a layer of CARBONACEOUS LIGUID that we use in our Cars & trucks to this day ! MAn will NEVER-EVER be free of its dependence on FOSSIL FUELS or any of its Duratives/by-products.. </p>

<p>TELL -whats wrong with just letting ALL trees just die of/from old age and crumble to the ground and nurture the soil and start new regenerate new growth? When a tree DIES and becomes a "HEALTH HAZARD" to humans & other trees in the FOREST - THEN & only then cut it down - trying to minimizing its detrimental damage to other living trees . I realize that "FORESTERS" have to make a living by "MANAGING" the FORESTS and that "WOOD-LOT Owners" need to HAve wood for their wood…</p>

When a tree DIES and becomes a "HEALTH HAZARD" to humans & other trees in the FOREST - THEN & only then cut it down - trying to minimizing its detrimental damage to other living trees . I realize that "FORESTERS" have to make a living by "MANAGING" the FORESTS and that "WOOD-LOT Owners" need to HAve wood for their wood stoves or sell wood for income - but lately I have seen CLEAR CUTS of 200 acres or more -Is this contributing to the "CARBON ABSORPTION" ?? I ask you -WHEN there is absolutely nothing left but the BARE GROUND - tell me how that keeps this PLANET cool nd retain the water n the soil & the water table ?</p>
