If not for deforestation, we would not have the current rise in CO2 levels.

50 years ago my generation didn't have computer programs, we did have common sense,
we tried to warn the world about this; our government promised to address this issue:
They did, they addressed it to their waste bin.

NOW they tell us that we can mitigate the damage already done by planting a trillion new trees.

Well I just agreed with that post..

"Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. One large tree can supply a day's supply of oxygen for four people."

My opinion, for what it's worth is that the BUG Trees need to come down, they usually intensify fires.. and planting trees to replace the bug trees... as far as mitigating.. probably not.. but it'd be a start.. rebuilding the forest area where I used to live...

That's stupid with projected sea-level rise. What's the tallest mountain in Southern Florida? Three Feet?
Not to mention the need for more freshwater.

Projected sea rise is BS projections. Have been predicting it since the seventies. No measurable increase. Biggest problem is fresh water runoff into the bays because everything is concreted over.

Hurricanes! I'm tired of our taxes going to subsidize National Flood Insurance so that people can rebuild in these areas after a storm destroys things. It's still stupid to build there in the first place. If people want to built there they should assume all the risks.

I agree. You want flood insurance? Pay for insurance at Un-subsidized rates.

Interesting point of history … When the first white settlers started to build down in New Orleans, the Indians told them not to as it floods there,

You’re the troll. This stupid subject has been beat to death on OPP. You say c*****e c****e is real. No s**t Sherlock. We all know it. We just disagree on mans impact. Go troll another site.

Then why don't you go investigate the reasons the climate is changing? There is no other reason the climate is changiung significantly (SIGNIFICANTLY) than man-made activity.

You would prefer to have Miami and a lot of other cities just sink beneath the waves? That's going to cost a lot more than taking preventative steps to diminish or stop c*****e c****e now.

It might be a good idea, ince an area has been hit by flooding, for the government simply to refuse to subsidize any building in the same area.
