  • This guy is an IDIOT. I would love to slap everyone in the audience that didn't call him out on this madness. Trees don't just take in carbon they breathe (exhale) oxygen. The only stored carbon a tree releases at death is only the carbon dioxide that hasn't been yet converted to oxygen. Find his children and end his bloodline.Al gore worshiper and satanist selling lies and your children's future down a toilet. This guy is like a reverse toilet rather than taking in shit he spews it out.

  • @fawkUtube oh yea that's an asshole

  • Wood has no CO2 to put back into the atmosphere. It turns out that wood contains lignite, an organic polymer which is a name applied to a group of complex organic chemicals. Wood also contains cellulose, which is a polysaccharides with (C6H10O5)n as its formula.

  • Dear Dr. Dixon, Do you know the chemical components of wood? Where does CO2 feature in any of the molecules present in wood? What % of wood components are CO2? Last I checked, wook was made mostly of Hydrocarbons. . May I suggest that before your trees die, cut them down and make low cost housing for the poor so the "CO2" doesn't float back into the air.

  • Relying on European or American morality to resolve global warming is like asking the fox to guard the hen house. What businesses are going to foot the bill for these technologies. Trees/plants are know to absorb carbon dioxide. Planting trees that sustain large populations and absorb the heat to produce foods to feed people is more sustainable for the growing populations who cannot obviously rely upon Europeans or Americans to repair all the damage that they have done to other nations.

  • His Argument holds good only if all 5 million(or billion) trees die simultaneously.

  • The globe started cooling, naturally, in 2005.

  • Yes they can and you must be buds with Hansen. He is crazy too.

  • One word: biochar.

  • Its like saying humans put oxygen back into the environment when they die. Tree use carbon dioxide?

    I haven't seen any articles suggesting that the emit everything they consume when they die, could you point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

  • Carbon sequestration is a great idea, and it probably is more effective than simply planting trees, but it can't be used as an excuse to keep doing what we have been doing since the industrial revolution.

    Trees don't store carbon dioxide.

    CO2 ---> C + O2. Only the carbon is stored. Oxygen is released. The amount of CO2 that trees convert surpasses the amount that they release when they decompose.

  • There's been no net warming since 1995

  • Not according to "New Scientist"

  • Yes according to the Hadley Center. NS may claim that GW will resume any time now. Predictions are not evidence.

  • The world has been cooling for 3 years, but this guy is still in the pay of nuclear power.

  • Not according to New Scientist Magazine.

    Climate myths: Global warming stopped in 1998

    Check it out!

  • I knew I'd hear somebody say this eventually. look you think planting trees is a bad thing? Also the carbon oxygen bond is broken returning it to the soil.

  • I guess that wild fires put too many more times CO2 in the athmosphere than human activities do,how about volcanos action?.We,the common People gotta be careful since there's always individuals and groups that take political and economic profit from issues like this one.

  • The tragedy is that the Politicians & their parasites in the centralised and utterly incompetent EU are quite stupid enough to fall for this sort of brain dead lobbying.

    There is absolutely no scientific provenance of this nonsense propaganda - it is almost as stupid as the propaganda that Wind, Solar & Hydro Power stand the slightest possibility withing a Century of providing our planet's power needs on current developement rate. Stop playing Fear Politics Your 'Warmist Cult' is a busted flush

  • 'The Warmist Cult' have much in common with 'The Flat Earth Society' where for many years 'The Flat Earth Cult' functioned in denial of the facts & all the evidence depending on gullible, naiive fanatics to prop up the implausible until they had milked it for all it is worth before scarpering leaving the fanatics high & dry with their heresy - How else could The Papacy survive, just throw some naiive martyrs to the crowds & scarper with a couple of Choir Boys! Thus The Medici made a fortune!

  • Where's the imminent global ice-age promised us in the 1970's? Let's all cry wolf in unison. Remember noise pollution; the radon scare; acid-rain; alar?

  • Nuclear power invented GW to give CO2 a bad name. CO2 supports all life on Earth, and follows plant growth cycles. Nuclear power kills all life near it! Yuo are a nuclear stooge. Uranium and you are fatal to life.

  • Trees cannot solve global warming?

    You're probably talking to the wrong trees - ask a really old tree

  • Stooge to nuclear power.

  • Nahh dude trees totaly make gloabal warming lol

    dumbass of course they can't do anything about it, all thye do is make oxygen and c02 but not enough to warm up the world.

  • It is true that trees are vital to recycle carbon dioxide back to carbon and oxygen. Nuclear power has caused very little environmental damage to our world (so far). Patrick Dixon

  • Green plants take in CO2 to support all life on Earth. Nuclear power kills it.

  • Global warming is most likely due to the suns heat output cycles. Why are Pluto and mars also increasing atmospheric heat increase at this very moment?

  • Global warming is a very complex issue. A brilliant book is the Rough Guide to Climate Change. I am convinced that carbon dioxide produced by human activity is a very significant factor. Patrick Dixon

  • I'll need to check that book out :)

  • Oh no, not another nuclear advocate!

    We have spent billions on nuclear fusion and we are still no further along the line. We already have a nuclear fusion power station not 93 million miles from here that can supply all our energy needs. Its a nice safe distance as well.

  • Trees fall over after a few years, geez where does he live in the Orkney's?

  • Well in the whole of the UK is is rare for trees to live naturally for longer than 150years. Patrick Dixon

  • 150 years is a lot different than a couple of years.

  • 2 things I wonder about:

    a) If the world formed slowly then we wont have any more carbon in the atmosphere than when before the organic life was converted to coal and oil.

    b) If God formed the oil and coal in the earth (young earth theory) then why should we worry, he would have thought about this?

  • Hey biblebeater you're dumb. Faith is no replacement for fact. You should have thought before you spoke. Perhaps god is trying to send you a message through this man's video. So listen up RETARD!

  • Lol what a petty reply, get a life dude
