(Planting 800 undeveloped trees in replacement will take 15-20 years to have the same air filtering effect). Once again, I'm no tree hugger, but even I can see there is a problem here)
Just trees. Just oxygen. Just life......

Heh. When I first glanced at the article, I was wondering why the shuttle landing would necessitate trees to be cut down... It's actually clearance for trucking the shuttle through the streets.. D'Oh!!
From what I've read, young trees are better at producing net oxygen than old trees. So these old trees should be systematically chopped down (and the tree buried so that we can capture the HC gases out of the landfill) and replaced with younger trees anyway...
Most of the complaints I read were centered around street aethestics, not ecology...
