Good stuff. Thanks for the link.

Great link. I love me some remote sensing.
Man has no effect on the Good Old Ancient Earth
-- insincerely, hired AGW deniers
And there are still idiots today that think the earth is 4 Billion years old.
So, basically, the eco-terrorists have no right to be pissed off solely at America...cuz OBVIOUSLY the entire world has been pounding Mother Earth in the ass for the last 40 years!
By the time I'm 75 there may be a tree or two on Earth...
Just go through the forests in Oregon, Washington, and California on Googlemaps if you want to see how hardcore some of the clearcutting is.
Actually the USA has done quite well over the last 70-80 years in protecting forests & reforestation. Central & South America and Asia are the areas that seem to really hate their trees...
Of course the US can still do much more. We are close to being able to restore the American Chestnut Tree. Which is a tremendous scientific achievement that will have great environmental and economic benefits. Hopefully someday we'll see a CCC type restoration effort.

Is that because we really don't have much forest left to cut down?
The Earth is turning into Detroit.
Did you say Delta City?
We have a little over 30% forest coverage so there is plenty to cut down, hopefully we don't. Still a far cry from the 50% + coverage we should have. According to the fao we are making gains...for now.
This is the one area that I thought Obama might be good on but it hasn't been on his to do list.In North and Central America as a whole, the forest area was estimated to be almost the same in 2010 as in 2000. While the forest area continues to decrease in all countries in Central America except Costa Rica, it is increasing in North America, where the net loss in Mexico is outweighed by a net gain in the United States of America.
I thought that at least here in the USA, we have been gaining in forested areas. Don't we have more forested area than 200 years ago because we put out natural fires?
Between 2000 and 2005, the United States lost an average of 831 square miles (215,200 hectares, 2,152 square kilometers or 531,771 acres) of "primary forest" -- defined by FAO as forests with no visible signs of past or present human activities. These forests, often termed "old-growth forests," have the highest number of plant and animal species and are generally considered a top priority for conservation by environmentalists and government agencies.
Despite the drop in primary forest cover, America still managed to post a gain in total forest cover due to the regeneration of previously cut forests and new forest plantations. These forests are generally considered ecologically inferior to primary forests for their reduced biodiversity but now make up major of American -- and world -- forests.

USA is planting industrial forests to replace the incredible natural forests From Sea To Shining Sea.
"USA is planting industrial forests to replace the incredible natural forests"
If you could ever kiss a tree's ass, this would be it.
To put moonbat's numbers in perspective, Harris county is 1778 sq miles.
It depresses me looking at this kinda thing
How does that put it into perspective? Would it not be better to measure the amount of trees in SuperDomes?

I thought scienctist said the entire earth was one huge block of ice at one point? God blessABC News On Stunning Greenland Ice Melt: ‘Scientists Say They’ve Never Seen Anything Like This Before’

When God passed out brains, he passed you over.
I guess that's means "no". God bless
