Yes, I agree burning the farmed Poplar is not conducive to reducing carbon. However, as building material it sequesters the carbon. Some farms grow hybrid Poplar only to a size suitable for 1 2x4 per tree. The entire plot is harvested & replanted and the 2x4's go into housing frames while the trimmings go to the paper plant.

a shame we are killing our one and only world.
Yah, don't bother. I think it would be a brilliant idea to fix global warming for a day by filling the skies with acid rain bearing clouds of sulfur and killing all life on earth in days rather than hundreds of years.

Re: Fly's Genetic Proof Of Global Warming

From : Scientific American Newsletters Sept 12 2006

Global Warming Shows Up in Fly Genes

Climate warming over the last quarter century is writ large in tiny fruit flies, according to a genetic analysis. In a species of fruit fly, the frequencies of so-called inversions, in which a piece of chromosome is flipped around, were observed decades ago to correspond to the latitude at which the flies were found. In nearly all the sites where the flies have recently been sampled--a span of three continents--the frequency of specific inversions has increased hand in hand with climbing temperatures. "It's a very clear signal that climate warming is going to have a big impact on our environment," says Raymond Huey of the University of Washington, co-author of a Science report published online August 31 that documents the change.

Re: Positive Proof Of Global Warming

Yep, Cwes had it, the wood our builder showed us is Lyptus. It looks like Cherry wood which is what we wanted to start with.
However it is much more eco-friendly as a construction material as it grows fast and is crop grown and replaced as it is harvested.
