I'm going to assume they are being symbolic about deforestation in general, not that particular tree. But yes, it's sad the lengths people will go for a a few trees or a man that died 2000 years ago.
The funny thing is a tree doesn't produce as much oxygen as a newly planted tree. So basically if the lumber jack chops down an old tree and plants 3 younger trees in its place; it's actually better for our environment.
Especially if that lumberjack uses varying sizes of internal combustion engines to process the old tree, some of which is converted to charcoal, which is in turn used to grill a few tasty-if-not-very-filling Spotted Owls...
Even after reading the study he found, I'm not seeing it. I can see that replacing 1 old growth tree with 3 young trees might have a result that's more CO2 -> O2.
I disagree. There's a LOT wrong with people who belong to violent extremist organizations like Earth First. And I mean besides just their silly behavior, crying in the woods.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070921063920AA8nmOu Taking in more CO2 creates more byproduct of oxygen (using CO2, water and hydrogen). So a young tree a sorting more CO2 is creating more oxygen byproduct.
Well hydrogen is h, water is h2O, CO2 is CO2. The carbon is scrubbed to pull the carbon into sugars for growth. That would leave the waste being oxygen.
