a vicious cycle
by Vicki_R on March 12, 2007 - 11:33am
It is my understanding that we need the Amazon and the rain forests to counteract the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  Aren't we just trading one devil for another? It just seems to be a vicious cycle.  Cut down trees(which we need) to grow better gas alternatives which will in the long fun help with global warming so we don't need as many trees.  It's making my head spin.
