I actually don't think anything we do will have an impact on global

Now at least that's the beginning of a more honest line of argument. If
you've got an agenda, push the merits of that agenda itself, instead of
pushing it as a false choice when compared to someone else's agenda.


I do not push planting trees as "a false choice...compared to someone else's
agenda." I advocate planting trees as something that we should be doing,
period. But I am also not trying to force others to spend their money doing
so -- I simply would like to encourage it. Al Gore's agenda is that of a
Chicken Little who would *impose* his agenda on the world. I do not claim
that planting trees will have a specific impact on Global Climate Change,
which I believe to be beyond the influence of humans in the large scale, but
rather that doing so WILL offset, to a certain degree, the damage we have
done to the environment.
