TREES AND GLOBAL WARMING
                                  article # 4

  IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JIM....BUT OF COURSE THERES DENIAL, LIES, AND MISINFORMATION

  PART OF THE REASON FOR MAN'S INACTION ; ITS ALL JUST A BAD DREAM, AND HE'LL WAKE UP SOON
 TO HEAR THE BIRDS SINGING AND EVERYTHING WILL BE AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. WRONG.
  BY DENYING GLOBAL WARMING EXISTS, MANKIND CAN BLAME EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE BUT HIMSELF.
 HE WOULD RATHER LIE TO HIMSELF AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM THAN TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
 HIS ACTION. HE WILL BELIEVE EVERY DOUBTING THOMAS THAT COMES ALONG. LUCKILY, MAN IS A
 FOLLOWER, AND ONCE THE PEOPLE BEGIN EFFORTS NEEDED TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING, THE REST WILL
 JOIN IN, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T COST THEM ANYTHING.
  THE MOST WIDELY USED WAY TO DENY GLOBAL WARMING IS THE " EXPERT" THAT SAYS NOTHING HAS
 HAPPENED IN THE LAST 200 YEARS TO CAUSE GLOBAAL WARMING. THEY WILL STAND THERE AND TRY
 TO CONVINCE EVERYONE THE HIGH Co2 LEVELS DON'T EXIST WHEN THE FACTS AND EVIDENCE HAS
 ALREADY PRESENTED.
  THE ONE THING NO ONE SEEMS TO BE MENTIONING IS HOW THE BIRTH OF THE LOGGING INDUSTRY AND
 THE MASS DESTRUCTION OF FORRESTS BEGAN CLOSE TO THE SAME TIME IN HISTORY. THAT WAY HE
 DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE " IF A FORREST OF TREES HOLDS 50 YEARS OF AIR
 POLLUTION AND Co2 IN THE TREES, AND WHEN YOU CUT THEM DOWN, YOU WILL HAVE RELEASED ALL
 THAT Co2 BACK INTO THE ATMOSPHERE INSTANTLY, RIGHT ?
  YET ANOTHER SITUTATION EXISTS CONCERNING AIR POLLUTION AND TREES. DURING THE LAST HALF
 OF THE 19th CENTURY, AND WELL INTO THE 20th CENTURY, AMERICA WAS EXPERIENCING IT'S
 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. THE SOURCE OF ENERGY THAT FUELED EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND
 WARMED EVERY FACTORY WAS COAL. IT'S PRETTY MUCH AGREED THAT COAL IS THE DIRTIEST BURNING
 FUEL ON EARTH, SO IMAGINE HOW MUCH AIR POLLUTION WAS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. NOW I'M SURE
 THERES STILL ALOT FLOATING AROUND WAY UP THERE. EVER WONDER WHAT AND WHERE ALL THAT WENT?
  TREES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING MOST OF THAT POLLUTION BY ABSORBING IT WHILE RETURNING
 OXYGEN BACK TO ENRICH THE AIR.EVERY TIME A TREE DIES, OR IS DESTROYED, YOU BEGIN TO RELEASE
 Co2 AND OTHER POLLUTANTS FROM THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION BACK INTO THE AIR.
  SPEAKING ABOUT INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS, ASIA AND ESPECIALLY CHINA ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
 OF THEIR INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS, AND SADLY, ALL ARE  USING COAL FOR ENERGY.BUT IN 2007,
 THERE ARE MILLIONS LESS TREES TO ABSORB THE ASIAN POLLUTION CLOUDS. THE REMAINDER OF TREES
 NOT DESTROYED ARE SERIOUSLY OVER WHELMED, WHICH LOWERS THEIR ABSORBATION RATE AND
 STORAGE. SURE WISH WE WOULD HAVE REPLACED 1/3 OF THE TREES WE'VE CUT DOWN.
  ANYONE THAT TELLS YOU TREES AREN'T IMPORTANT SHOW THEM A SATELLITE IMAGE OF THE MONSTER
 BLACK CLOUD OUT OVER THE SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN AND REMIND THEM ITS COMING OUR WAY.
