We are cutting down American forests for green "energy" in Europe.
This is a dated article, so this has been going on for a long time.
There is cutting of forests from Texas to New Jersey with the wood being made into pellets for "green" energy in Europe.
So you take an energy source which is not particularly dense, wood, cut it up, pelletize it, transport it across the Atlantic and burn it to make energy in some "environmentally friendly" scheme.
Can anyone explain how this is "green"? Forests sequester carbon dioxide. Forests lower surface temperatures. Forests offer shelter for all sorts of animals, ones you hunt, ones that are endangered, etc.
So what are we to make of these "green dreams"? Deforestation in the United States. Child labor to mine cobalt in the Congo. Ecological devastation in Myanmar to mine for rare earth elements for the Green New Deal.
If looked at objectively this is not "green". It is environmental destruction.
No forests for the "little people" of America, Africa or Asia.
The euroPEONS (yoops) will be cutting their forests this winter if things go like they seem headed. đ¨
The ârapidly warming planetâ I stopped reading at this Bulls*** There is no evidence that the planet is warming. All the so-called evidence is computer generated scam models, and if anyone thinks you canât program a computer to say whatever you want just look at the computer games available today.
Do the ships that deliver the wood use sails? No. Do they burn wood or coal? No. they burn heavy oil. The hypocrisy is thick enough to cut with a knife.
Pellet stoves arenât all that âgreenâ, and only idiots think it is. Itâs trendy among millennials though.
If they replant to grow new trees, then the clear cut land will provide the humans with a new forest. Plant, Grow, Harvest, Plant.
Trees are renewable!
Rachel Carson was the brain trust who wrote Silent Spring isn’t she?
All the song birds were supposed to be dead sometime in the ‘60s.
One more in a long line of failed enviro-wacko doomsday predictions.
