Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. According
to J. Russel Smith's "Tree Crops" published back in the 1930's,
deforestation has been going on for millennia. Where are the once
fabled pines of Rome? What happened to the cedars of Lebanon? The
rainforest that once covered much of the Sahara and sub-Sahara Africa
are now somewhat sparse. Recent indications are the Mayan civilization
also suffered from deforestation, but left enough in outlying areas to
reforest their ruins.

Do you need proof of deforestation? Can you tell the difference
between forests and trees?

Anyone who makes the assertion of a threat of depletion needs to back
it with empirical evidence and the subsequent statistical projections
made based on that data, that is "proof", making an assertion that
forests will be gone by 2050 without proof{which can be attainable},
is an opinion, i don't expect anyone to take my non-empirical opinion
seriously, nor should i take seriously the opinions of econuts.
Which is why your reply deserves this answer.
