Science drives me nuts... I love 'the study of'... but I hate having shit drilled into my heads for years as fact... then out of nowhere you're hit w/an article like this...
... so... now - you have to be careful where you plant?
I understand they're probably talking about massive forest growth... but still... I wish science wouldn't be hearalded as fact...

interesting!

Well, once again, my friend, we find that science is a two-headed beast. One head is nice, it gives us aspirin and other modern conveniences... But the other head of science is bad. Oh, beware the other head of science

You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.

maybe those scientists could invent white trees that deflect sunlight. or, develop trees with legs that can move around like the ones in the lord of the rings and fight battles and shit when needed.
yesssss.

trees with legs hahaha...
"honey i hit a tree today on the way to work"
"you went off road?"
"no it was crossing the road just like that.."

kona,
that's a brilliant idea!

Trees with legs? Man, it'll never happen..the insurance lobby will shut that down quicker than a conservative shutting down national healthcare...

no thetick. we would then build tree roads which would be more jobs and strenthen the economy.
comon man. this is huge geek economics 101 here.

we could use them for transport like horses, just hold on to the stem, kick it in the twigs and off you go..

and there you have it folks. Global Warming, an Environmentalist way of making money.

So, we'd be tearing down the legless trees to build roads for the trees with legs? Oh man..the ACLU would be all over that - the whole "Tree Rights" movement would start up...

(Dec 27 05, 09:53)Dude, someone ALWAYS makes money, unless you're a godamn communist. Wouldn't you rather have someone make money and have a nice sustainable world for your kids than the alternative?

(Dec 27 05, 09:53)no no. they have legs. they would just move right out of the way and let the road be built.

there were some commies making money as well, do not forget.

Doesn't 'greenhouse warming' explain all of this?

(Dec 27 05, 09:57)but what about all the existing legless trees? Are they just going to get mowed down? Are they all part of some "final solution"? Smells like agricultural fascism to me..

I know people are making money one way or another, I just find it funny, that evidence like this comes out and slaps them in the face.

How does this new theory that trees grown in certain climates have one effect on climate change while other grown in other areas have a different effect Who is it slapping in the face?? Doesn't change the global warming thing at all - just the granularity of understanding this complex issue...

thetick now you're just being silly

You're finally catching on - +1 kOna for enlightenment.
