Greenpeace: Against Trees
By ismurray on Climate - commons blog

One of the most extraordinary statements from a green lobbyist I've seen in a long time comes in this BBC story about HSBC bank going "carbon neutral". Greenpeace UK's Chief Scientist says:

"But planting trees is of questionable benefit: what if there is a forest fire?"
Well, indeed. Let's get rid of the lot of them in case they release that highly dangerous carbon they have stored into the atmosphere.
Woodchippers: your environmentally friendly alternative.
