I didn't realize Tropical Plants had a lobbying group.


This page reads like The Onion. I know they are serious but one of their claims is that the US has more forest now than in 1900.

North America has more forest area today than in 1900. This is due to five main factors. First, modern agriculture is much more productive than it was then, so much less forest must be cleared to grow our food. Second, the demand for wood for housing and other uses results in private landowners planting forests to meet the demand. Third, much less wood is used for heating and cooking because other fuels are used today. Fourth, before 1900, about one-third of farmland was used to grow feed for draft animals, but today animal power has been almost entirely replaced by machinery. And fifth, much marginal farmland has been abandoned and allowed to revert to forest.
No mention of the Dust Bowl that we turned this country into due to poor land management.
