Yeah, we destroy the good and replace it with poor. If that were the only[/B] damage we did. But it isn't.
Oh, that's right you only site U.S. and Canada, but the problem is a global one. And the state of the Canadian and U.S. forests owes a lot to those tree huggers and the protection and regulations they got passed to replant forests and selective logging to keep the land healthy for regrowth. Left to their own devices, the loggers would have raped the land and left it bare and lifeless. Then you wouldn't have been able to say how great our forests are, cause there wouldn't be any.
As to the Big Blue Marble. Let's hope you are correct about it being well. But wrong about humans turned to dust. Let us hope our species lives long and prospers because we learned our lesson and quit acting blind and arrogant.

We can only control what happens in the US. Which is why I SPECIFICALLY mentioned the US in my FACTUAL statement...
And we'll all be wiped out by a virus one day. Either naturally or man made...
I'm betting on the latter...
