Was George Washington for Global Warming and Deforestation?

He chopped down a cherry tree for no reason. Just another politican ruining the environment and getting rich off of it. LOL

Update:

WOW Some people need to lighten up.

I`m sure Washington chopped down more than a cherry tree in his life time. A few pines and prob an oak and hickory....

    No, he passed laws forcing all farmers to grow some hemp (marijuana). Hemp is a rapid growing alternative to fibres derived from trees and can even be used as an efficient renewable fuel.
