WTF?

New trees cancel out air pollution cuts?
Is anyone else extremely confused right now? And no, they aren’t talking about strange mutant trees belching out methane.

Industry has dramatically cut its emissions of pollutants, called volatile organic compounds. But those cuts have been more than offset by the amount of VOCs churned out by trees.

The revelation challenges the notion that planting trees is a good way to clean up the atmosphere.

So, lets cut down the mean old forests that are polluting our atmosphere?

    ok my bizarre mind comes into this notion.. the loggers must be pissing someone off (thought connection of when a character “dies” on a tv series, it is likely because they wanted too much money)… well I guess they want more money so someone out there is trying to “kill” off their character..

    man that is just freakin’ insane.. humm how many trees in DE? air pollution is what again? how many trees outwest & again air pollution is what nearly nothing…. yeah sounds like trees must be evil.. oh no they entered the wrong word it is not trees it is credit card & bank companies.. yeah darn type-os!
