Delbert -- thought I was snoozing, huh. Please defend your statement that we (United States?) cleared 99 percent of our forests. By the way, Mr. Hyperbole, this bogus claim is going in your "permanent file." We will be keeping an eye on you.

<<Certainly that is a contributing factor, but we also are pouring record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere at the same time we are decreasing the number of trees. >> Technology is doing a lot to reduce the amount of Co2 that is being dumped. Think if we were still polluting at the same rate per capita as we were in the 50s. Could be that since the population has tripled since then sheer numbers of people are an effect. <<Keep in mind that almost all of our country East of the Mississippi was once forest. >> I've heard that at one time it was possible to walk from the Atlantic to the Mississippi never leaving the shade of Chestnut trees.
