I see.. and agree.
and I'm sure he would too.
But the most important point behind his video is to spread the "which is the greater risk?" meme as its the only way of convincing the fence sitting - "oh well, its not proven" - public to get off their arses and do something in the first place.

I prefer to take the approach of "Fuck global warming, isn't it nice to have some trees about the place?"
Even in the middle of London, there are plenty of busy roads that could have tress down the middle instead of concrete barricades.

Right, that makes more sense,
because I reckon even if every city in England covered every available square inch with foliage it wouldn't make much of a dent in our CO2 output.
What I find interesting is that earlier you said that people wouldn't listen to this video if it disagreed with their own ideas. I guess that's probably been proven true by yourself - even though you say some positive things about the video, you also say "fuck global warming" and actually care much more about having trees around. Which means, all his arguments in the second video about global warming being more important than other concerns fell on deaf ears with you. Sadly you're one of the most positive responders to this guy.
