There is yet to be an accepted study of the carbon cycle effect over a future period of time for North American forests.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Because just as arms have no force outside if there is no counsel within a house, study is vain and counsel useless that is not put to virtuous effect when the time calls.”
