    An individual old tree may, but a young forest captures more carbon. And that’s not even accounting for if/when the old tree burns anyway.

      Love that facts get downvoted

      You just claim what you said is fact, then get all prissy about it.

      I’m sure that will get you fewer downvotes?

      You want to have a good faith discussion about this? It’s not a simple equation. All in all it’s usually better to NOT cut down old forests. You have to consider the whole ecosystem.

      Also, I’m sure Trump had our carbon emissions in mind when he rescinded that order, hm?

        I’m not pissy, I love watching it. Y’all’s actions are your own, whatever they are. Good faith discussion starts in recognizing facts, not downvoting them. The whole ecosystem is better with a range of young and old forests. I didn’t comment on Trump, I commented on facts. I think logging, like every industry, has to be done properly.
