The Trump era: How wildly doomed are we?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 19, 2016 | Mark Morford

Posted on 12/19/2016 7:54:46 PM PST by artichokegrower

More than a third of all the trees in California – more than 100 million of them, covering roughly 7.7 million acres – are dead.

But it’s OK, because the forests are largely empty anyway, given how we as a glorious human species have thoughtfully killed off half of all animals on planet Earth, all in just the past 45 years or so, because people.

My dad and uncles once regaled me with stories of hunting woolly mammoths and saber tooth tigers back in the '50's. Sadly, people like Trump came along and slaughtered all of them. I will never get to hunt mammoths because of Trump.

Is the SF Comical still in print? If so, where does the paper it is printed on come from? Silkworms?

Mere mortals get paper from trees - but the San Francisco Chronicle's paper is made from unicorn poop..

There are too many factual errors to address in the article, but I would suggest a Californian do what Colorado did when the Pine Beetle ravaged the Colorado forests a few years ago. Start a logging company, get some of that wood, and make valuable products out of it before it just burns up in a huge forest fire.


Yes, and yes. However, these people are too stuck on stupid to take the obvious step. How many board feet of lumber and how much pulp will burn up in the coming years?

California is lost. I don’t understand these people..... they are unhinged.

I think we need to start penalizing the news media for using all that paper. Plus all the chemicals used to bleach it into white paper.

I mean they penalize people through tax policy. Gas tax, grocery bag tax, tire tax, travel taxes, cigarette taxes.
They go after mines that strip areas of trees even though they replant the areas later.

Why does uniparty print media get to destroy forests and trees without any penalties? Lets start going after the g-d proaganda print media.

There are others too but uniparty media is a good place to start.

Thanks for posting this! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve read Miss Morford on FR.

This is a particularly hysterical and hysterically funny column by the old flounce. I’ll have a hard time getting ready for bed tonight because I’m still laughing.

Again, good job!

I warned people, all the news is going negative. Everything they have not reported and glossed over and seen but ignored, they save it for when their enemy is in power. Then they dump it all on them. Trump will be the new domestic Goldstein.

It’ll be so unhinged that it will make a comic parody of itself. The new tabloids with the most salacious gossip... about the GOP.

That's what I said, I said that! Trump is Goldstein!

Too bad I didn't tell anybody ... but I did, I said that!

The misanthropes need to lead by exaple and suicide themselves. It’s the least they can do to save the planet.

I believe you, lots of people here probably felt this way.

Of course the dem socialists have more than just one Goldstein. Depends on the issue. Sometimes more than one.

The trees died because of a beetle infestation you didn’t want anyone to touch, you liberal moonbat.

The trees are dead because instead of tending the forests, the new diversity hires are navel gazing in sexual indoctrination classes, while the Sierra Club was blocking all timber sales and lobbying to remove fire roads.

As the drought cycle came like it always does cities burned while the overgrowth stole the water from the big trees.

10 million dead standing trees now waiting for a match. Won’t be much left after the diversity hires get done.

That presumes people are listening to them. Clearly, in the wake of Trump's election, that has changed somewhat.

I predict what we now see as the MSM narrative will soon become the societal equivalent of "the new hot band."

Morford parted moorings a long time ago and has been adrift on the crazy sea ever since.
