Why are we looking at what one individual tree does when we have data for all the trees? For millions of trees?

Because you stated "there are more trees now in the US than 100 years ago."

Commercial tree farming does not compare to an old-growth forest in numerous ways, so to compare apples to apples, we would need to know how the oxygen production of the two compare.

Got a link to a study doing that?

How much does the comparison of oxygen production matter when the vast majority of oxygen production isn’t been due to trees?

Perhaps you should read up on this before asserting there is no problem.

Where did I say there wasn’t a problem? Can you find that for me?
