What a dilemma!
More trees due to that evil changing climate
. We cant have that! We must reduce CO2 so that we keep those lovely grasslands as they are
errr were
errr should be?
My question is: Will the Greens cut down the offending trees in the meantime to give the poor old grass a chance?
They may have to ask industrialists to sustainably harvest the trees (using green methods, of course) to keep the exact number that used to be where they believe it should be
.
And NASA just told us that CO2 is a powerful coolant in the upper atmosphere, where it radiates energy from solar flairs back into space, doing what Niels Bohr discovered all those years ago. ...This heat wave may be because we don’t have enough CO2 keeping us cool.
I recommend the site CO2 Science.
Thanks Ernest.
They’ve been telling us for 100 years that human deforestation of Africa was turning it into a desert. And the trees are taking over?
“And the Trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw”
- Rush, The Trees, 2112
I thought the rain forests were a good thing, that they consumed co2.
“Theyve been telling us for 100 years that human deforestation of Africa was turning it into a desert. And the trees are taking over?”
It was during the ice ages that most of Africa was desert, because all the water was frozen in glaciers.
What many people (those who remember their geology & geography from school days) were saying 10 years ago:
“A warmer Earth is a wetter Earth; that’s a GOOD thing, not bad!”
Of the water on Earth, a small percentage was locked up in glaciers. Although all that ice (and whatever caused it), certainly changed the climate.
Its curious as to what caused the Holocene Wet Phase(from about 75007000 BC to about 35003000 BC), that turned the Sahara green. And just as curious as to what ended it.
My question is: Will the Greens cut down the offending trees in the meantime to give the poor old grass a chance?
i find it interesting that the only places my lawn is a beautiful green is where they get some sort of shade from my trees.
The truth is all the warmists don’t know what will happen if the earth warms appreciably. They all predict disaster, but we know they had an agenda with that forecast. Why would warmer weather cause a huge global disaster given that the earth’s temp has been FIVE TO SIX DEGREES HIGHER!!!! at various times in the past. And we’re still here. We’ve had global temps so high the poles were melted. So if higher temps would have caused a disaster destroying all life as know it, we would have seen evidence of that many times in the global history stretching out billions of years.
Most likely camels driving SUVs.
I think I remember seeing on a documentary that during some of the dinasaur ages, the Sahara was a shallow sea.
This preference for trees is not necessarily a good thing.
Wrong. I was there at the time and Africa was green then.
