Well, I just think that is an amazing display of stupidity... how could anyone think we have more trees now than ever before? Apart from your stupidity, how about your character? Can you even admit you were horribly wrong?
I'm fine with admitting when I'm wrong, but it is actually debated whether or not we have more trees than ever. It's not like it's unbelievable, we have a lot of tree. Yeah we cut lots of them down, but but there's over 3 trillion of them. It's not like the earth was all trees before carbon based life showed up.

I'm almost speechless.. but let's try. Yes, we have a lot of trees, but humans have cut a hell of a lot of them down, it's not hard to reason that there were way, way more before we invented agricultural technology and spread out to blanket the earth.
I agree with that. I believe the contention here was that I was speaking in a broader sense of there being more trees now, even with some of them cut down in the past hundred or so years (with the advent of modern industrial logging), we have more than has been on earth for the majority of its existance.
I still stand by the notion that we don't need to worry about the trees being cut down because we have a fuck ton of them.
