A thought for the new year

[BroKenneth]

I sure would like to the studies that back that up. Doesn't seem possible with the wildfires and deforestation that is happening globally.

Earth has more trees now than 35 years ago

Interesting. More tree cover doesn't seem to match quality of forest action and the study is contradicted by the FAO, which seems to be the gold standard regarding global forest action and the environmental impact.
Also, the paper industry doesn't harm the environment just by logging practices, it uses s lot of harmful chemicals and produces air borne pollutants.

Watch a movie called "A life on our Planet" .
This man understands what is in our future if we fail to fix what we broke and continue to break daily .

This man is David Attenborough. He’s a TV/movie producer, not a scientist. He's just one of many who has bought into the climate change hysteria.

While I do think the human race as a whole could take better care of the planet I don't buy into the global gloom and doom, I do think the climate is changing (first it was warming and now some say cooling so who knows), I think it is going through the cycles it has for eons and everything is going to be ok. There's money to be made either way so the debate isn't going away. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree.

Curious why you euphorically went republican and slammed people that vote democratic unless you actually went racist when historically its the DNC that makes the legislation to protect the environment even to a fault sometimes.
Please don't respond because we don't want this thread to get locked.

Saving the Planet is a Global problem and not just a USA problem.
I Farm for a living, Poultry, Cattle, and dabble in Timber. My #1 biggest problem is technology on newer tractors. Bought my first new tractor in 1990. Ford w mechanical fuel pump. If it would turn over, mechanical injector pump work, it would start and run. If these new tractors dont start its just like new vehicles, you have to carry them to the dealer. Soviet Bloc, and Asian countrys dont deal with these issues but we do.
Not gonna make time to type all on my mind but a very big problem, maybe main problem is too many people on this planet. Ever notice where a lot of people are on Gov assistance they have lots of kids. Thise people dont pay taxes, suck up gov benefits, hav pile babies and vote for AOC. Does anyone else see a problem here?? Save the rest for later

if you actually read and understand what it is saying it implies that the tree increase IS NOT a beneficial regrowth , i imagine if i spent the time to research it the large amount of the increased growth is actually non beneficial trees grown for human consumption .
it isnt biodiverse tree growth and that is the important part

the paper industry clears mass amounts of biodiverse forest and then replants pines , they did realize some years ago the pines did much better if they left little strips of old forest in place and or just left sprigs here and there of the original more diverse tree growth .
but in the end a tree farm is a tree farm ,not a biodiverse multi species tree platform .
the mills are a totally different subject and to be sure pollute in mass quantities not to mention constantly redirecting natural water flow as well .
the sad part is that as long as there is money to made on any and all of the global abuse there will be a throng of those that say its just a natural part of the changes the earth goes thru periodically . hence the denial of what is actually going on right before every set of eyes on the planet .

Well said KETCHN and your daughter. I too am guilty but am trying to do my little part, imagine if everyone on the planet did just a little something.

this is the idea , a little bit from everyone would make a huge difference . but as long as we continue down the path of denial and it aint really so , "its just the climate change hysteria "we are in for a real serious set of problems in the near future .

Scientific Consensus | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
AND for those that think it is just hysteria and want to continue with the denial of what the movie states as fact....
I suggest you try on some of our own government's ACTUAL scientific fact studies done by NASA ....
the scientific studies are being done and have been for decades ....
it isnt just some silly thing some movie producer did a movie about for sure .

Climate hysteria is not science. It’s a religion, and a silly cult-like religion at that. They’d be more believable if they could decide on exactly how long we have to save the planet. Their record of failure is hilarious.


“Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.

More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.”

While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited.”
