That was a great rant about c*****e c****e. It was one of the best I've read. The only thing I would add would be to plant more trees, they love lots of CO2.
Thanks for sharing!

You made very good points. I just wish more people knew about it and could think with it. Keep communicating!

Yes.
However ...
In addition to planting, it may be even more important to avoid destroying what plant life already exists naturally.
In the book _The Vegetarian Myth: food, justice, and sustainability_ (some of which is so entertaining and unexpected that it feels strange to read it), author Lierre Keith comments on agriculture; but bear with me a moment, I think this also relates to trees. She writes on page 36: "Agriculture is based on annual monocrops, the precise opposite of perennial polycultures, and it does the opposite of what nature does: It destroys topsoil." (Humanity is so inept sometimes. My point with this quote is to suggest that human planting -- even of trees -- while helpful, still probably won't be as good as the natural mixture of trees and other plants that had grown wild in the place originally.) (She gives a lot more detail about this idea -- and about nutrition -- in the book -- just not specifically about trees.)
If we could stop (or greatly slow down) the destruction of the Amazon rain forest (a great mixture of trees and other plants, naturally evolved), that would probably be one of the best things we could do regarding plants, as we try to take care of the global environment.
So, ideally humanity would have left the existing Amazon rain forest alone, and now _also_ we should plant more trees in most places, including, say, Iowa. :-)
