Where is "back here"?, those are not tree huggers, they are industrial
terrorists, occasional murerers and environmental vandals and are in the
minority no matter where you are.

And they think they will not hurt the tree doing it, they are wrong on both

Which will be great when they grow up, which may be several centurys after they
are need.

Which is impressive, but are they of the type that they are replaceing and/or
native to that area, and can you name one of these "most places".

If The Kyoto Accords and or Protocol how come you can count the number of
countrys that have not signed in on 1 hand?.

Yes but are not those cycles increasing in speed to an unnatural level.

Yes but i have read, heard, and seen evidence that the gap between those ages
