I believe we have more trees today then ever before. That isn't all that matters though. We replant monocultures and harvest them. This isn't a good ecosystem.

That isn't all that matters though. We replant monocultures and harvest them. This isn't a good ecosystem. It's also a net negative on the environmental emissions(carbon sequestered).
The age of the forest, variety, etc all matter a lot.
I spend a lot of time in forests. The difference between a harvested in the last century and an old growth forest is very obvious. They are drastically different.
We don't have a lot of old growth forest anymore.

- chneu 1y agoThis is your 2nd reply to me that's not helpful and/or misses the point.
- bigbadfeline 1y agoI'm breathing air polluted by Canadian forest fires as we speak. Maybe you aren't getting the point I'm trying to make? Almost all issues discussed around here are complex and multifaceted but way too many comments display obstinate tunnel vision... You may want to think about that when you stop crying.
