Come to the South and watch the Kudzu grow.
You’ll understand that its growth is 100% greater than anything you could cut down!
Watch out for that word: “sustainability”.
“Sustainability” is a lying concept based on fear - not fact, truth or faith - used more and more by the Left to promote Worldwide Totalitarian Government.
The American lumber industry can handle anything as long as the Government leaves them alone.
The Profit Motive can’t be underestimated.
If they make our future low carbon enough they will cause a mass extinction.

Trees are a crop, like corn and tomatoes. I live in a working forest. Some parts are cut and replanted - others left to grow until mature then the cycle starts again.
We have more trees in the US now than in 1800.
We have far less old growth trees, but we’ve planted many trees to become old growth.
They are out if ideas and recycling the 80’s now. Is Dr. Erlich still alive?
Coal is just ancient forests that got buried in the past. So what is wrong with burning ancient leaf mass.
As someone once said, “Coal is just ancient sunlight that caused trees to grow.”
Come to Maine, the most heavily forested state in America.
Seemingly endless amounts of both hardwood and softwood.
AL Gore’s head could keep a family warm for several hours.
Just report that cutting down trees spreads the coronavirus. No one will go near a tree, let alone cut one down.
Fow-Chi could verify the report and everyone would believe. Also Trump could state that cutting down trees could be a “game changer” in the fight against the coronavirus. He would be mocked and criticized and ostracized for that statement by the press day in and day out.
New studies would emerge claiming any evidence Trump has is anecdotal and that these new studies PROVE him wrong. What the hell does Trump know about SCIENCE! /s
Well, planting and harvesting trees takes carbon out of the atmosphere, the harvesting and building with wood provides employment, the end result is housing and commercial construction that benefits the country. Lumberjacking is actually one of the most dangerous jobs in existence, but it’s a job.
If part of the AGW hysteria can be co-opted and some better tree harvesting programs put in place, take a win where you can get it.
