When the planet is just barren rocks, devoid of all life, only then they will be happy. Finally.

What miserable, perpetually unhappy people.

I recall reading some years back that Idaho had a problem in the 1930’s where they cancelled moose hunting one season because they thought the population was too low. They had a extremely hard winter that year and later found more moose dead than they thought had existed. The larger than expected moose population decimated the winter browse- the vegetation the moose eat in the winter that determines the sustainable population- and it took a couple decades in some areas for it to recover.

Fortunately wildlife management has improved since then, but if there are too many moose allowing them to be hunted is the answer.

“‘Shared’ a trail with a a momma and calf once. I peed a little.”

My husband and I were traveling in Idaho at night. Came around a corner and saw eyes glowing. It was six Moose standing in the road. I shit my pants.

"Though trees do produce oxygen, they also consume it during cellular respiration. From there, microbes and other organisms use much of the oxygen generated by rainforests, resulting in a net production of oxygen close to zero.

“There are a number of reasons why you would want to keep the Amazon in place, oxygen just isn’t any one of them,” Michael Coe, a scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, told National Geographic. In fact, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, seasonal phytoplankton blooms are responsible for more than half of atmospheric oxygen production on Earth."

The same can be said about our local forests. I keep this in mind whenever I see a finely landscaped subdivision with nice trees, bushes, shrubs and lawns that are producing oxygen while the neighboring woods is creating and using at the same time, resulting in a net zero gain.

That it did, and he’s using it to good effect for those mentally-ill, eco-wackos. This is their chance to get the green crap done, and they’re doing it, much to our detriment.

2024 is looming larger than ever before.
