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

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?

[pjvdixon]

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

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

[pjvdixon]

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

@fawkUtube oh yea that's an asshole

[fawkUtube]

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.

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.

[alotoaltosaxes]

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.

[magick10987]

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.

[doubleagentrikosky]

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

[JonThm]

The globe started cooling, naturally, in 2005.

[showaltermicro]

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