Now global warming is causing trees to take over! Damn them! Damn them all to hell!

i’m so tired about these sky-is-falling academics trying to make a name for themselves.
they bitch when man clears a field. remember how we were going to run out of topsoil and that was going to be the end of our food supplies?
they bitch when nature fills in grassland.
good grief we have such morons today.
But you can’t chop down the trees, and you better not mow the grass either. What’s an environmentalist to do? /s;)
Nature must remain static according to the environmental left.
I live in an area that was cleared farm fields in colonial times up until the turn of the twentieth century. It is now covered in new growth forest intermingled with single family homes. The only remnant left are the stone walls. It’s called the Hudson Valley.
What is it about these enviro-nazis? Nature is all about change, usually in small ways over many years. These people seem to think that nature is never changing and what-is right this minute is the way it’s always going to be.
And when their pet ideas are proven wrong they scream and shout like little children because they are ‘wrong’ and ‘somebody’ or ‘something’ is being mean to them.
Are we going to be doomed?
Back in the 1800s the forests were cleared to make way for hay farms to feed all the horses, and when automobiles replaced horses and carriages, the farms were abandoned and the fields returned to forest land. Nature has a way of fixing herself, that arrogant academics cannot seem to grasp.
As I’ve been saying for years to people who complain about clear cutting, they aren’t destroying forests, they’re creating meadows. Wildlife flocks to clear cuts.
My father had a saying, although it wasn’t specifically directed at this seems to be very applicable.
He used to say “you know some people just can’t stand prosperity”.
Prairies are maintained by periodic fires.

Fire has always been a partner with healthy prairies. In dry conditions early in the spring or late in summer and early fall, lightning could strike and set a prairie ablaze. Later, Native Americans and Euro-Americans set prairie fires to help hunt animals and clear the land. Today, prairies are managed and maintained by prescribed burns.
During each burn, non-native plants are removed, allowing prairie plants more nutrients and room to grow. Prairie plants can survive fires since they have deep roots and grow from a point underground. A prescribed burn is a crucial component in prairie restoration.
Burns are conducted early in restoration projects to prepare the land for planting. Prairies are burned at regular intervals to help keep them healthy.
No, it means that they should switch to mob grazing.
I knew that the Trees were up to no good.
The Desertification Crisis has been replaced with the Treeification Crisis?
Obama will just use his pen and phone to put in more golf courses to fix the problem..
Read the book..Northwest Passage. It was based on historical fact and the boys dam near died coming back from the raid in Canada because there was no browse for animals where they traveled.
A climax forest is basically a forested desert as far as animals are concerned that inhabit and rely on brush and cover for food and habitat.
The biggest problem with prairies are the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Interior, the EPA and the other assorted Federal agencies and bureaus that perform no useful function. Just try to clear brush and burn it or dispose of it and see how many Feds show up. Each one will require a separate application process and permit with the processes running consecutively since each permit requires a predecessor permit before other permits can be issued.
I suspect that at least 50% of the prairie brush fires are started or taken advantage of to efficiently eradicate unwanted brush .... wildfires don’t require permits!
Fear the tree!
