And who tells you this? Rush Limbaugh? Let's see your facts and sources. According to U.S. Forest Service estimates: in 1492, approximately 1 billion acres of forest; in 1787, about 930 million; 1992, 737 million.
BTW, scientists can tell quite a bit about climatic conditions in millenia past by studying the massive amounts of indicators left behind by weather. I doubt you've looked into this, however.
And, pray tell, what exactly is "the grand plan for our existence?"
