Why are you also against planting trees?

Because the EARTH is a SELF_SUSTAINING SYSTEM.

EXAMPLE: When the Government gets involved in ANYTHING they tend to MAKE it WORSE. When MAN tries to CONTROL the ENVIRONMENT he accomplishes the SAME thing as the Government "ne'er do wells.

this is weapons grade stupid

Those “volatile compounds” are probably what makes trees smell so nice.
Anything nice and wholesome is offensive to NYC Liberals.

Leave the trees. Leave the cars. Get rid of the leftists.

I like the writer’s comparison of a stark Manhattan with trees in “the lush Queens” .

NOBODY involved in this self-serving piece of ivory woodpecker tower utopia (writer, editor, readers AND researchers) get much past the Hidson River do they?

[metmom]

Apparently not.

And man is part of the system!

Blaming the trees instead of the cities. Trees were created by God. Buildings, streets and sewers are man-made.

“Blaming the trees instead of the cities.”

Nope. He said he favored planting more trees.

“Those “volatile compounds” are probably what makes trees smell so nice.”

Oaks don’t smell nice and they are a major allergy problem.

[Albion Wilde]

Yep. Blaming the oaks, an American native species. Meanwhile, globalists are destroying our forests and grasslands with kudzu and spikeweed from China.

[dfwgator]

The oaks are just too greedy.

Oaks are messy air polluting trees. Their pollen covers everything and wrecks havoc with those with allergies.

During pollen season I have to sweep the sidewalk EVERY DAY.
