Tree Huggers

First, I must start by saying that I can't stand spam comments. If there is anyone out there reading this (which would be great, for a start) that knows the best way to curb the enormous amount of spam comments and unwanted pings, without a tedious process of taking every single one of their IPs manually and putting it on the ban list... I'd much appreciate it. These things are insane. There's a reason I don't write about celebrities that often. I had an article about (unnamed celebrity) on the blog a while back, and it got flooded with spam comments with links to various porn sites. Ultimately, I had to delete the article... but I digress... let's talk about tree huggers...

So there's this new movie coming out, from Leonardo DiCaprio (as if that name won't net me a ton of spam porn links in the comments...), called "The 11th Hour." I haven't heard much about it, but I found this article about why it's not going to be good:

Vancouver Sun

Apparently the movie talks about why we shouldn't cut down so many trees. This article, however, from the co-founder of Greenpeace, states that it's really better to cut down more trees, and plant more, since older trees rotting and burning release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Younger trees take in more carbon dioxide than older ones, and no carbon dioxide is released when they are cut down. Sounds like a good idea to me... Any chance to beat on Leonardo DiCaprio is good, too. Go Dr. Moore!!
