Seems to me that my pickup truck has nothing to do with climate change. And even he admitted, caught himself, and quickly corrected with "maybe not as much as we thought", or something to that effect.
I grew up in rural Kentucky. Our forests there have changed since I was a kid. As a kid, you could walk through them. They were open and not very dense.
