Trees Causing Global Warming?

Timothy Birdnow

Lookie here!

I remember when Ronald Reagan said trees cause pollution, and he was roundly mocked for it. In the end he was proven to be correct. Now we find that trees actually emit carbon dioxide!

From Physorg:

Forests absorb a lot of CO2 from the air in the summer, but during the heat wave at the end of July, forests in the Netherlands emitted CO2. This is shown by measurements taken by the University of Twente.

Now, deforestation has NOT been a modern problem; on the contrary, we have more trees now than in the past, thanks to aggressive forest-protection programs and replanting. We KNOW that forest decay produces more co2 and methane than a normally harvested forest, but now we know forests emit co2 on their own. Is this why we've had a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide?

I'll bet you won't see this in the mainstream media.But there's more:

The University of Twente (UT) has been measuring how Douglas firs react to weather and climate in a forestnear Garderen since 2006. Between 24 and 26 July it was exceptionally hot. As a result, growth was so limited that during the day less CO₂ was captured by the forest than was emitted at night.

The net CO₂ emissions from the forests during the hot days were 60 kilograms per football pitch. This is as much as that of a person flying from Amsterdam to London in Economy Class.

During the day the trees use sunlight, water and CO₂ to grow, while at night they breathe out CO₂. A football pitch in this forest captures 4.8 tonnes of CO₂ per year in wood, about the same amount as the annual emissions of two petrol cars.

Now, I don't believe this is causing much of anything, but I want to take this opportunity to point out that there is much more to climate than the Gang Green climate warriors want us to believe.
