Oh, I see. It’s all about you. Forget that it is one of the strongest woods, is used as beams in buildings that have lasted for the past 800 years or more, is a major source of wood for furniture, cabinetry, flooring and paneling, is a major preventer of erosion, is a reliable source of shade and a bulwark against wind...
City trees are not harvested.
By the way, sweeping stirs up the pollen. You’d be better off hosing it down.
Leaf my oaks alone!
“Oh, I see. It’s all about you. “
One knows they have no argument when they resort to baseless personal attacks.
What makes you think those valuable trunks are just destroyed, in every city everywhere, when they are in fact profitable?
Most definitely, everywhere it blows and plants itself. China native.
I backed up my argument fully. Get over it.
“I backed up my argument fully. Get over it.”
You made the argument that we should cut down the oaks in the parks!
CORRECT! When MAN was introduced he became an INDEPENDENT VARIABLE.
If you understand "variables" you'll probably know that their introduction into a situation is NOT always favorable and usually results in many ADJUSTMENTS.
In my opinion.. "variables" create many LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, many of which can be PAINFUL.
Earth is supposedly 4.5 BILLION years old.. man has populated the EARTH, at best, 6 MILLION years. In case you didn't know, a BILLION equals a 1000 MILLIONS,
My point: the EARTH was, is, and ALWAYS will be a SELF-SUSTAINING system.. even long BEFORE, and long AFTER man is gone.
MAN being part of the system simply ADDED to it's SELF-SUSTAINING problems as an "independent variable".. it didn't minimize the problems. Obviously, you didn't watch the George Carlin stand-up link on "Saving the Planet" that I posted. It's on Youtube.
In any event.. you're FREE to BELIEVE whatever you choose... it doesn't mean you're right!
Johnny Appleseed PLANTED APPLE TREES for the reason that they produced APPLES, which in turn FREELY FED the human population. He knew little or nothing about the CO2 myth and the environment.
Check my earlier response post to "TaxasGator."
“CORRECT! When MAN was introduced he became an INDEPENDENT VARIABLE.
If you understand “variables” ...”
If only you understood variables ...
Not in the least! That’s ludicrous!
“Not in the least! That’s ludicrous!”
You have to cut them down to make it into furniture.
So INFORM me on variables
“So INFORM me on variables”
An independent variable does not depend on other variables.
Man is not an independent variable. Man’s actions are dependent on environmental parameters. Even the very existence of man has been dependent. Evolution is the prime example.
I should have figured you were full of CRAP and simply want to prove you're SUPPOSEDLY smarter than EVERYONE else. Nothing more than feigned intellectual DOUBLE TALK.
Here's what I KNOW about "variables" Holmes.
1. The INDEPENDENT variable is the cause. Its value is independent of other variables in your study.
2. The DEPENDENT variable is the effect. Its value depends on changes in the INDEPENDENT variable.
Let me give you a SIMPLE example of WHAT I mean.
I'll imagine that you're happily married.. you and your wife have a normal relationship... then, she meets a NEW female friend, who eventually, through various circumstances, drags your wife into a (God forbid) LESBIAN relationship.
My question?... would not the NEW female friend unexpectedly have become the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE neither, of which, YOU or your WIFE had ever expected to occur?
That is analogous to MAN, after 4 BILLION years, being introduced to a PLANET endowed with a SELF-SUSTAINING SYSTEM.
“So INFORM me on variables”
Consider a simple hypothetic global warming model including the earth, sun and man.
The sun could be considered an independent variable since its out put in not affected by either man or the earth in a simple model.
On the other had if the sun’s output increases earth’s temperature increases.
If the sun’s output increases man’s behavior will change. Man will spend more time indoors with air conditioning using more energy. This leads to more couch potatoes and less innovation.
As earth’s temperature increases it leads to global warming conspiracies, election of radicals and gas stove restrictions. Fewer gas stoves results in less attractive dinner preparations and couch potatoes eating more fast food resulting in increased obesity requiring stronger couches. Stronger couches are more expensive leaving less money to buy fast food. So couch potatoes forfeit the couch for the floor. Due to being immobile, jobs are lost, progress comes to a halt and the children are forced to hit the streets begging.
“Its value is independent of other variables in your study.”
Exactly what I posted!
“What makes you think those valuable trunks are just destroyed, in every city everywhere, when they are in fact profitable?”
Again, you try to make the case for cutting down city trees.
