Do you think the climate change perspective is good for solving the forestry issue?

We all know that forests are disappearing at an alarming rate.
One theory to battle this is the Kyoto Protocol which provides tradable carbon credits for replanting forests and (if they reach an agreement for a follow-up program) conserving mature rain forests. Industrialized countries can buy those because that may be a cheaper way of reducing their CO2 footprint than e.g. making their coal plants more efficient.

Do you think this in an effective approach for saving nature?
 
No, because forests are not disappearing due to climate change they are disappearing because humans cut or burn them down. The problem is there are to many stupid people not a shortage of trees. Nobody is prepared to address this issue so Kyoto and carbon capture are a waste of time.

No, since humans are to stupid or brain dead to learn from history this problem will be solved the old fashion way mass random death due to environmental collapse.
 
what forrest is disappearing? because they aren't in the USA,they could be in other parts of the world so what should the USA do,bomb the bejesus out of every country that doesn't do what you want
 
Global warming won't hurt us, but the actions taken by government to stop it will.

We need to just accept that the climate is changing like it always has and deal with it.
 
There are other reasons for protecting the rain forests. It always has been more practical to pay for their protection relative to any economic benefit from their wholesale destruction. But we have never followed that reasonable course and there is little reason to believe we ever will.
