There is currently more board feet of lumber, in growing trees, in the US then when Columbus landed here. That wouldn't be so surprising, as the Indians burned the forests for game management plus natural fires that have been suppressed. And now there has been massive regrowth in the Eastern United States. It's the area though that counts for albedo. Generally assumed that globally it has increased. What really shows up on the satellite image of Boston region I have on my office wall though is parking lots, airfields and the roofs of shopping malls and factories. Pretty bright. David
