Water Evaporated From Trees Cools Global Climate

This is the reason I feel such overwhelming urgency to plant as many fast growing, carbon tolerant, insect resistant evergreen trees and bamboos as possible.
The best tree I've found for temperatures between -15 to 100 degrees F is the giant sequoia, which is the fastest growing, most insect resistant, carbon loving evergreen there is (the reason evergreens are so important is because they photosynthesize carbon into oxygen through the winter).
Bamboo is an even better carbon sucker because it converts CO2 into silica and is the fastest growing plant on Earth, with over 2,000 species native to Asia and the Americas.

When a friend of mine was in the UK a few years back, he told me of drinking in a pub that was built in the late 1600's and was still structurally sound. Behind the pub was a grove of enormous oaks. They had, the owner explained, been planted to provide wood to replace the roof and wall timbers if they ever rotted. Out of that strand of trees, only 1 or 2 were ever needed but the others were there, just in case. In this country, they probably would have been cut down and sold ages ago. We just don't think long term as was the case here.

My republican neighbor wanted to cut down 15 georgeous Hemlocks between our houses (because they messed up his patio) until my partner said if he did she's cut off his balls!

Notice that this great graphic doesn't include the tree's enormous role in generating rain clouds through evapotranspiration.
This is something we are just discovering through science (although I'm quite sure aboriginals have known this for ever).

They have been knowing this, the trouble is that no one has been listening. Logging has been damaging the rain forests for decades, but no one listens.

Thanks RJ.
Yes, if we wait for politicians to act we are all goners!
;~)

While I understand that trees transpire water into the atmosphere I have see similar clouds forming on mountainsides bare of trees, the very rising of any moist air will cause water vapor to condense as the pressure and temperature drops

I have noticed that myself camping in the High Sierra Nevada but I suspect it has to do with another huge factor in carbon sequestration: rock weathering.
Are you familiar with the theory that stromatolites (billion year old rocks) created an oxygen atmosphere on Earth?

I cannot say that I am familiar with that theory, my understanding is that the majority of the atmospheric oxygen is the product of photosynthesis by early forms of life such as algae and other single cell creatures. There is certainly possibilities in rock as a source of oxygen as the majority of mineral formations are composed of various oxides. As 30% of the earths mass is oxygen in its various compounds the possible sources of it in the atmosphere are numerous.

If you have a link relating to the stromatolites theory I am sure I would find it an interesting read

Also paleoclimatoligist Lynn Margulis helped prove James Lovelock's Gaia Theory with her research of rock weathering.

Thank you, I ill take a look at this tomorrow as I am finished for the day, should have been hours ago as it is
