On Nov 30 when diplomats met in Paris for the climate talks many of them will be talking on how to lower the emissions from coal, oil and natural gas. Only a few will be arguing about the carbon-storing forests the Amazon and the Congo. It appears that the destruction of trees and vegetation is releasing more CO2 than transportation.
