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

But there is an astonishingly simple way to make a difference: plant more trees.

I was just meeting with a timber harvester a week or so ago. He told me that in Virginia there are currently more trees being planted than are being cut down.

I have often wondered why someone doesn’t take a big military style plane, gather up the millions of pinecones that are on the ground east of the Rockies, and spread them out over the plains of Eastern Colorado and Wyoming.

The rights of private property owners to not have that notwithstanding, there could be millions of Acres of additional forests

Climate change is a sprawling, complex problem.

Yes it is. It is part of the constant fight to keep the hands of power hungry people off our money and out of our government.

Man, I used to love Popular Science, National Geographic, Consumer Reports other such magazines, but when EVERY SINGLE ISSUE goes on and on about Global Warming, I just got sick of the lectures and hand wringing and bailed out of all my subscriptions.

That being said, this is a pretty cool idea if they can pull it off.

Rather elegant solution. Hope they have a camera to avoid shooting at unsuspecting passerbys - human or furry.

Huge new plantations could be planted this way for food, or timber. Great commercial potential.

In remote areas, they could use blimps, to haul larger loads, longer distance efficiently.

I wouldn’t want to be under them when they’re planting coconut trees.
