You are drawing a conclusion that I don't believe is accurate i.e. we don't necessarily have to cut down forests to supplant carbon energy with solar and wind energy. I'm sure there are plenty of deserts, or open areas we can use, for both projects. Germany is actually having a problem with too much green energy as their grid cannot handle it. The solution of course is just to build a better grid.

My point is simply that we need a Manhattan project, but one that makes sense, but we need it because there is a very high probability that we have underestimated the feedback loops and how fast AGW is overtaking us.<<

<<"Right now the alternative energy emphasis is on solar and wind, which both have large footprints on the land. Do you think it makes sense from an agw perspective to cut down forests to make way for solar panels? I don't, but that's the sort of thing that happens when we take the "Manhattan Project" approach...
