forests, are the best absorbers of CO2.

Oh and... If that wood were instead harvested into firewood/wood
pellets, sold (for profit of course) just like a crop, and used for
heating homes up here in the NE US and Europe in the winter, then it
is that much less fossil fuel burned to heat homes, so we wind up
SAVING CO2. *gasp!* a real use for trees that fell down.

A real solution, and people make money. What more do you want? Oh,
wait, some environmentalist probably wont let me import wood from
another state because of fear of disease spread in the woodlands, and
another environ"mental"ist wont let me burn wood because it makes
smoke that they can see, smells funny, and makes the sunset prettier.
(As they sit in their 5000 sq foot house smelling my smoke while
eating nuts and twigs).
