Believe it or not, there’s some merit to the argument. A tree removes CO2 from the atmosphere during it’s entire lifetime, so when you cut it down and burn it, you are returning that carbon to the atmosphere. Does it balance out? Who knows. For all we know trees may remove more CO2 over their lifetime than created by burning.
But wouldn’t the Earth be better served at this point, where we are trying to reduce atmospheric CO2, by having trees continue to remove CO2 rather than add it back?

But do we really need an app that adds tape hiss and cuts off the highs and lows of our music? Because THAT’S how I remember cassettes…don’t forget to push that Dolby button to kill the hiss…and half the sound.

White fears. That’s right folks… #Fear gave us President Trump.
Why are white people so scared? Maybe it’s the hundreds of years of being assholes coming back to haunt them; maybe that has their tighty whiteys all in a knot?
Believe it or not, most black people STILL don’t want to hurt you white idiots…they just want the same chances YOU have. All you really need to do is the right thing, instead of clinging to racism and hatred. #N0H8
