The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

The tree one is funny, and I love trees, as trees and as lumber, but most of the oxygen we breathe doesn't come from trees. It comes from the oceans. God is amazing. His creation is incredible, even when damaged by a curse that scarred all of it.
To riff off of Anonymous, forests are barely net oxygen producers. The more wet and the older the forest is, the less net oxygen compared to CO2 and methane is produced. Really wet triple canopy jungles or rain forests are actually oxygen suckers and produce far more CO2 and methane than they produce in oxygen.
Grasslands are better net oxygen producers. So are farms. So, yes, leveling good portions of the Amazon rainforest or the rainforests in SE Asia or even the rainforests along the Pacific Northwest and turning those places into farms or prairies would actually be good for the world, that is, if you want increased oxygen production.
