Tree Euthanasia? Climate Alarmists Now Warn That Our Forests Will Worsen Global Warming

An alarming report from the US Department of Agriculture predicts that by 2070, the nation’s forests will release substantially more carbon than they store

[Bon of Babble]

Forests in the US – bar those in Alaska – will no longer absorb 150 million metric tons of carbon a year within five decades, experts say.

That carbon is equivalent to the emissions of roughly 40 coal power plants.

Because they are not taking the dead trees out of the forests thanks to Federal lockdowns.

Arsonists have contributed to the deforestation of the western hemisphere.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The tree huggers have already murdered the forests.

Bill Gate’s solution is to cut them down resulting in…

Desertification: the process of fertile land transforming into desert typically as a result of deforestation

be prepared for the exhale tax

its coming

winter is coming

[VTenigma]

These idiots have a carbon fetish. They are worse than Furries, they need help.

Bill Gates is a Psychopath

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Could be because there are MILLIONS of acres of arable land (CO2 breathing plant life) being converted to solar “farms”?
If you remove millions of acres of plant life that utilizes CO2 and replace it with solar cells that do nothing to/with CO2, how is that better?
No mass balance calculations are made over the 25-year lifespan of the solar cells.

These idiots have a carbon fetish

and have no idea they live on a Carbon Based Planet ,LOL

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Solar cells actually \increase\ atmospheric CO2.

[Celtic Conservative]

If there is truly more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the trees will gobble it up and respire more oxygen. Bam! Carbon sequestration. Enviro weenies need to look up the term “homeostasis”.

Soooooo… President Regan was right in “1980”….

Reagan was lampooned by Democrats in 1980 for having claimed that 80% of air pollution was caused by plants and trees.

These idiots have a carbon fetish

and have no idea they live on a Carbon Based Planet ,LOL

It's a carbon PHOBIA and it's completely irrational, unless you understand the conspiracy behind it.

CO2 has negligible greenhouse properties, particularly at the minute levels in Earth's atmosphere. It's all silly for the reasons you bring up. The surface of the earth has been transformed over billions of years by LIFE into an enormous carbon sink. Humans can't even scratch the surface of this process.

The purpose of controlling CO2 is about the enslavement of humanity. It has nothing to do with the environment. It's about global power. The marxists PIMPS want to be the gatekeepers to everything that people need to live; Food and energy.

Their contempt and antipathy for people is extreme.

[beethovenfan]

Meanwhile India and China will have built many hundreds of coal plants.
Forests emit oxygen. Should we cut off our oxygen supply? INSANITY.

Did Bill “I never met a human I liked” Gates contribute to this crap article? The TREES abs PLANTS are not a problem! The cows are not a problem. Farming is not a problem.

Messing with the cycles of nature would be a catastrophic problem. These idiots DO realize that animals and insects breathe oxygen, too, right?

Rush - The Trees

There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, “Oppression”
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights

They say, “The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light”

Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law

And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

[AndyTheBear]

The “Green” party no longer I guess.
