This is true, however we are learning that as co2 levels increase, the amount of oxygen created per tree goes up so the global levels may actually even out. Also, i care a lot more about the forest in my own state than i do about the Amazon. It doesn't matter how many trees you plant there if our own country is fucked.

Yes of course caring about your local environment comes first, but just like river waste, most of that isn't coming from the first world. I care a lot about the forests here in Oregon but you could cut down every tree in the state and it'd be nothing compared to what's happening in South America

I'm not saying those trees shouldn't be saved, I'm saying the executives at greenpeace are making half million dollar salaries (and they're one of the better ones) while actually spending very little on doing things.

If they cut down every tree in Oregon in wouldn't matter if they planted 1000 times more in the Amazon. You'd still be fucked.
