Which would you rather have happen: A big environmental disaster of some kind, say all of the forests in the rocky mountain area turned into dessert permanantly, OR 1,000,000 ramndom people die instantly. |

if that many tree's suddenly disappared, what would happen to our oxygen supply? could the percent of oxygen in the air drop a few .%? i have no idea just a thought i would like to throw in here. if it did drop though, wouldnt that also kill off many people anyway? |
Note I didn't say I preferred killing the people to killing the trees. I was just commenting on the raw numbers. BTW, I didn't even vote b/c I think this is a silly question. |
No, no. no
You need to think of this scientifically (thank god spelling isn't science  ), the Rocky Mountain area has a large amount of natural resources. If we loose those resources, a lot of trees that make a lare % of the worlds O, people are going to die of deseases that need those resources to be cured, and the O will be gone. You cannot replant the trees or bring back the natural resources because it is permanant. This would also cause a war to get more resources to save people and people would die in the war. This is a tough question I am going to have to think about.
