Oh, the horror..........
Massive frauds do not apply to trees -— you cannot TAX THEM !!!!
Quick, let’s fork over billions to the UN for a further study on how this affects developing nations. Let’s start with a new 10 year 400 billion euro case study. We’ll get back to you in 2020.
Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918
Trees
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, 5
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain. 10
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Meaning all is working as it should. The designer of this planet knew what he was doing.
Forests Are Growing Faster, Ecologists Discover; Climate Change Carbon Dioxide increase Appears to Be Driving Acc'd Growth
This is pathetic. In my high school biology course back in the 50s we learned about the CO2-O2 cycle, with animals needing oxygen and plants needing carbon dioxide. This is, we were taught, a self-balancing cycle, since if it tilts one way or the other it encourages more animals or plants, bringing it back into balance. Much of the work, of course, is done by small animals and plants—bacteria, insects, plankton, and the like, that can grow pretty quickly.
I always thought that a good counter-charge to make against these whacko greenies is that by decreasing CO2 they are killing the rain forests. Which, in fact, they are doing, with their biofuel idiocies.
Oh my! What will the consequences of too much oxygen be? Ahhhh, the horror of it all!!!
How can this be I thought acid rain killed all the trees in the east years ago.
My 30-acre redwood forest has grown much faster and healthier since we did selective thinning ten years ago.
That’s the whole point of selective timber harvests.
My idiot brother has about 50 acres of untouched redwoods that look awful. They are crowding each other so much that a lot are dying. Being a tree hugger, he refuses to maintain that forest.
Stupid is as stupid does.
It stands to reason that any increases in CO2 would stimulate plant growth. By putting out forest fires and practicing reforestation there are actually more tress in many areas than there were 100 years ago ...hence a use for even more CO2. This notion that CO2 is a deadly pollutant in our atmosphere and is driving climate change is pure bunk
“Let my poplars go!” Treebeard T. Ent
As famous aviator and engineer Dick Rutan says:
“CO2 is not a pollutant, it is plant food”
Since the first Surveyor satellite was launched in 1968, satellite surveys have consistently logged small year-to-year increases in the portion of the earth that is covered by forests.
This fact has been known for some years. But, somehow, it has never become part of the conversation on "climate change".
Don’t forget, the trees that the paper and lumber industry cut down are replaced by “better” (genetically) trees and the forests are better-managed to promote growth. Bottom line, our forests in the USA are not only healthier than they were when the USA started, there are actually MORE forests. People have been brainwashed that they must “save a tree” ... came from the same crowd that thought banning DDT would “save the earth.” ( How many times can these people be “wrong” and still be “believable”???) As for the trees, if you depend on trees for your living, you don’t cut them down and move on, you replant, replace and take damned good care of them in the process.(Example keeping undergrowth thinned, resulting in less fires, hence more healthy trees). The result is a better, more productive forest ... more growth for the treas and for your tree-growing profits! The MONEY makes the environment better!!! Amazing isn’t it? :-)
I notice that they jumped on “it’s the CO2” bandwagon immediately. The fact that the sun’s radiant output increased until about 2002 had nothing to do with it.
