Well, such a large biomass still is a large exchange system of CO2 for O2, and some numbers I saw were pretty significant. While the overall equation is a wash, then just the fact that they allow such destruction with no response is indicative that their real agenda is NOT about CO2, but something else, and the medicinal/research angle may be something. I just do not like it when someone says one thing and does another, and then never says a word but continues to preach to me and demand I pay for whatever. Nope.

One day Mommy caught Little Global Warming Einstein's hand in the cookie jar.
So Little Global Warming Einstein said, "Look, Mommy! See how this jar's mouth is relative to the size of my hand."
And Mommy said, "Little Global Warming Einstein, is that some kinda sleight of hand joke?"
"Please, Mommy," Little Global Warming Einstein said, "just keep my allowance funds a-coming. That's all I ask."

The Rain forest is relatively a geological recent thing...they have found remnants of large post flood civilizations there.
In terms of carbon, like all green plant life, the carbon/oxygen cycle is basically a wash...nothing added or taken away. However, the rain forest is a valuable medicinal resource which is why they've allowed it to be destroyed. Why would they want to heal/cure anyone when robots are waiting in the wings.

You do speak of the very root of the issue, there are many factors in the climate system, beyond one gas. Focusing on the one thing blinds the "geniuses" to all others, and is the very epitome of bad science. You need to factor all possible causes into a problem, and then find rational explanations for either why they do not, or do, have an impact. One of my main objections is: If CO2 is so damn bad, why have they stood aside as the largest carbon sink in the planet (Amazon rain-forest) is decimated year after year? Yet they would imposes taxes and restriction on all of us. Nope, go away.

When oh when will they give up the ghost?...When oh when will they look to the ocean floor on the western side and see the volcanic eruptions there and when oh when will they realize that the western winds, coupled with the localized volcanic ocean warming causes the calving we observe and that the ocean around those calves will cool and desalinate the water which in turn will create more and thicker sea ice...the very same thick sea ice "warmers" have gotten stuck in.

To put it more succinctly, when oh when will they realize that carbon is not a warming gas but a cooling gas, in it's cycle in the stratosphere and ionosphere and has a net beneficial effect in the troposphere where we live.

Bring in the carbon...nature will thank you for it; and, not to mention, when oh when will they realize that the carbon cycle, the volcanic activity, the plate tectonics and the solar cycles are the very things that have made earth habitable for life and humans alike.

I would suggest the warming creatures bend down, caress and pray, to the carbon gods... in thanks for their very own existence.

And of course "pong" to compliment "ping", except these folks seem to want to work with something realistic and admit they do not understand the dynamics of the mystical Antarctic climate.
