I came across a study a few years ago that showed that the US presently has more forested land than it did in the year 1900. My personal observation verifies that. The fields around the house I grew up in, and the house I have live in now (33 yrs.) have all grown over with forest. Historical

Howdy Jeff, Same here in Texas. Before 1870 range prairie grass fires could sweep across whole counties that acted to prevent forests from gaining a foot hold. Interesting arguments for and against greenhouse effect. Al Gore and Rush Limburger cheese et al should both be proud of their

A lot of marginal farmland in the United States has been returned to forest land. It's the same throughout much of New England -- lots of woods, but it's all second growth because it all was farmland a century ago. It was terrible farmland, but in the absence of the Interstate system and

Among the most brain-dead of all the environmental proposals being floated around to combat greenhouse gases, is the kind of carbon sequestration where CO2 is pumped into the earth... this is beyond silly for so many reasons... But here is an interesting development:
