>you are suggesting that those trees underwater produce more warming gases than the dirtiest coal plants, MW per MW? A coal plant continuously burning enough coal to get 1000 MWe produces the same amount of warming as a hydro reservoir flooded once that has a dam that produces 1000 MWe?
That's exactly what the research is saying yes.
You're talking about 700 sq miles of forest here that was flooded. Not a few trees.
