giant trees and fairies

It says here that loblolly pines grow really fast in a CO2-enriched environment, like the Earth will be if we keep burning everything. Researchers are worried that they'll shade out all the other trees, but when we've all croaked from pollution, the atmosphere will recover and the trees will go back to normal, so why worry?

In unrelated news, I found this article about fairies impeding development, although it may be more about people just not wanting big rocks moved. I like rocks; I'll side with the fairie people.

I turned up a link to the fairie article when I stumbled across FreeRepublic.com, a conservative news site. My question is: if I oppose change, does that make me conservative?
