USAID needs to hit the 3000 year old lumberjack ancestors up for “reparations”.

”Bayon says that this indicates that the climate alone could not be a factor to explain this deforestation.” Especially when there’s an agenda to foist.

......they cleared land for farming and iron smelting. I don't know if the population would have been large enough to have a significant impact on rain forest, but 4,000 years ago seems early for iron smelting. The Iron Age is generally accepted to have begun about 1200 BC.

After humans “deforested” Africa, bureaucrats failed to organize and fine the crap out of said humans for doing something without first paying proper licenses, taxes, and permits. Otherwise government would have been able to save the planet.

It seems obvious to me-and I don’t play a scientist on TV-more humans moving to the area cut down more trees to build shelters, fuel fires for cooking, smelting and other daily uses of wood, drought lasting several years-and humans not smart enough to know that trees don’t grow fast or well in a drought-and not at all when an area is clear-cut. A perfect storm that has taken place before in other areas of the world and still does wherever really clueless people live...
