No - Really - Save The Forests.

Yeah, I know. You're thinking I'm hugging trees, but the truth is I don't like splinters. 'Old-growth forests 'are key carbon sinks'':

...[BEIJING] Old-growth forest might store far more carbon than previously thought, making their preservation a higher priority in carbon trading and other efforts to tackle global warming.

Classified as forests at least 100 years old, old-growth forests are widespread in tropical and subtropical developing countries. Until now, they were not thought to absorb and store significant amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

In a study published in Science this week, however, scientists show that a 400-year-old forest in southern China is soaking up carbon from the atmosphere considerably faster than expected.

Knowing this, developing countries with abundant old-growth forest cover could ask rich countries for compensation through the global carbon trade, said team leader Guoyi Zhou....

Old growth forests - virgin wood - the best wood to sell. You'd think nature would care more about the economy of carbon based life forms, right? So if we plant trees now, by 2107 there will be a positive effect on the atmosphere. So if we plant trees 100 years before we cut them down...

Kill more termites. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.
