The researchers at Tulane are brainiacs.
As Katrina roared through coastal forests in August 2005, it destroyed thousands of trees. As those trees decompose, the carbon they release will be enough to offset a year's worth of new tree growth elsewhere in the United States, said Jeffrey Chambers, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. The team's report has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Science. How about doing some research into technology that could help reduce CO2 instead of publishing science papers on the obvious, and useless.
