Trillion Trees

[sumdumguy]

Because of ample supply of treelets at the Indian Head tree farm, we planted and roto-tilled and hoed miles of shelterbelt - more than 3000 trees. Gotta say, they are beautiful now and well worth the effort. 👍 Kubota. This is a common story at many farmsteads around here. If they gave us credit on carbon tax, we could easily double that. 💪 I doubt the tree option will fly because who is going to fill their pockets with this option?

Indian Head tree farm Ritz shut that SOB down.

ritz was useless , we have come to that consensus long ago

Why do these guys keep stumbling over the solution. You want some trees then go pay every ***** farmer to take 10% of their land out of production to return it to wetlands with couple thousand trees. Greta can inspected each farm personally.

Already have too much food, might as well get paid to fight imaginary unicorns and fairies.

PAY THEM? PAY THEM, he said!

Why I've never heard of anything so absurd in my 6+ decades of walking on this earth.

Why would you pay them to do it when you can merely REGULATE them into restoring tree canopy compliance by passing municipal bylaws to that effect?

Just give your malfunctioning, capitalistic head a shake and allow the proper methodology to sink into your warped mindset - the government assumes the right to confiscate private property for the public good at their own whim. Crown patent be damned - it's about as ancient and useless a document as the Magna Carta...

There, jazz, take that for your sociology lesson for the day.

You're welcome.

Could have at least converted Indian Head to an Ostrich Farm?

Hold the PANIC, "you people" problem is solved, Rain Forest has been replaced, earth is adapting/mitigating any MAN damage....caused by....wait for it GREENIES.... more C02!

"The world is literally a greener place than it was twenty years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a counterintuitive source for much of this new foliage. A new study shows that China and India—the world’s most populous countries—are leading the increase in greening on land. The effect comes mostly from ambitious tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.

Ranga Myneni of Boston University and colleagues first detected the greening phenomenon in satellite data from the mid-1990s, but they did not know whether human activity was a chief cause. They then set out to track the total amount of Earth’s land area covered by vegetation and how it changed over time.

The research team found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s, an area equivalent to all of the Amazon rainforests. At least 25 percent of that gain came in China. Overall, one-third of Earth’s vegetated lands are greening, while 5 percent are growing browner. The study was published on February 11, 2019, in the journal Nature Sustainability.

but, but, but..........FJ,...... that isn't what they're telling us
surely this a mistake?

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization is Greening the Earth according to NASA.
