Well, Walt, all of Europe and North America were thickly forested at one
time not so long ago. That's a lot of acreage.

Worldwide there's a net loss of .2% of forest area (Net gain
of .2% in the U.S.) from 1990 to 2000. Look back further at
the statistics and you'll find that we are not even close to
cutting down "most of the world's trees." In fact, the more a
nation becomes industrialized, the less they rely on trees
for fuel and other uses. It's the 3rd-world countries that are
losing their forests the fastest.

Global warming happens first. This causes an increase in
CO2, not the other way around.
