“stands of coniferous trees in that part of the country will lose 70 to 100 percent of their current range to deciduous trees by 2085”

Another jackass that shouldnt be allowed out of his stall.

The asshole never even considered the Spruce Budworm or any of the other GD invasive insects his jackass buddies, the eco fruits, allowed to infest those forests.

Like it’s altered the flora and fauna of all the continents continually since the beginning. Why should it stop now? And we could not change it more than microscopically if we put all our resources into the effort.

The rest were highly valued for building. Straight trunks are easier to work and yield more board feet per tree.

The forests have been changing forever. Human caused Climate Change is an assertion not based on facts.

Small edit for clarity.

Another interesting fact, until the colonists came there were no earthworms in NE. They brought trees with the roots wrapped with dirt including worms. The quality of the soil has been much improved by this “invasive species”.
