That's the only evidentiary argument you tried to make, and it's factually wrong. More of North America is forested now than 250 years ago.
The rest of your comment is argument to absurdity and bare nonsense.
Your beliefs are like a religion.
Prior to European colonization: 1,023,000,000 acres
Today: 766,000,000 acres
If that is too complicated for you to process, please take a look at the graphics on the page. Btw I don't do religion. Let's do facts instead.
"We chopped down most of the forests in the US [1] to make farmland. Literally. My home state of Indiana was _literally_ solid hardwood forest 250 years ago. Take a look at it on Google maps sometime."
So 25%
That's factually wrong in so many ways especially seen in the light of your entire comment to me.

"There is just no accurate estimate of the number of trees 100 years ago, relative to now." --Jeanne Paquette, Mineralogist who also teaches some paleontology at McGill University (1991-present)
Maybe you should pick a topic with more hard data to argue about. Or is that too complicated for you? Nah, you just have an agenda: we're all gonna die unless we do what you say! Who cares about the truth! Truth must serve, not be served!
"In 1630, the estimated area of U.S. forest land was 1,023 million acres or about 46 percent of the total land area."
"In 2012, forest land comprised 766 million acres, or 33 percent of the total land area of the United States."

25% ish. Hardly most of the forrest in the US.
What's your point?
