When Green Isn't Green...
And now a global study of the forest industry by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation has found that trees do not abosrb CO2. They emit CO2. You'd think someone wood get it right...
Well I'm now confused... I thought they absorbed during the day and emitted at night... and I guess they have to absorb in order to emit... This study says they only emit Co2...

Do you mean they produce an excess of CO2 over what they intake as part of their normal respiration?
