We're burning trees for power stations as well - bringing 'em in from S. America and Canada. Can anyone spot the irony?

Many trees are being cut down so that bio-fuel crops can be grown for vast profit (due to Carbon levies and trading) to improve our environment.

"Ghost Trees"

Stumps of 10 trees from a rainforest, complete with their roots, will be placed around Trafalgar Square to highlight the issue of climate change.
This is de-forestation on a massive scale, a far more environmentally destructive process than climate change. In fact raising temperatures and sea levels and wiping out a large amount of the human population will be good for the rain forests and the environment in general as bio diversity will increase.Tags: None
