More trees than there were 100 years ago? It's true!

100 years ago we,were clearcutting with no regard to anything. Profit was the only concern. So it's no surprise we have more trees now with reforestation that goes on now. Kind of a no brainer. 

We are doing a lot of things better than we did 100 years ago.  Those ungrateful bastards were reckless.

did the topic on this thread stem from another argument or something? wtf is the point?

Yeah. From the global warming thread of the past few days. Catman was posting from some dubious sources and got raked over the coals something fierce. A MC type beat down...

I saw a documentary about 25 years ago where the Germans were planting cuts in the Black Forest with the original diversity of trees that existed before man started logging, they did this to make a healthier and more profitable forest as cutting in the future will be selective and rotational.

On the second bold how about that conservative TR being a tree hugger :thumb:

Quantity over quality?

The average age of forests in the United States is younger than it was before European settlement. The greatest diversity is found in the oldest forests, so there may be more forest now, but because it is so young, it is home for fewer animals, plants, insects and other organisms than a fully developed, mature forest ecosystem. It also means that protecting old growth forests is imperative.

As a society, we are likely in the middle of our cultural (and scientific understanding) of the value of forests. The history of conservation in this country is still young, after all. According to Chuck Leavell, director of Environmental Affairs at MNN and a tree farmer, "It was during the Theodore Roosevelt administration that conservation began to take hold, and along with Roosevelt, figures like Gifford Pinchot, John Muir and others began to warn Americans about overuse of our natural resources. Eventually, programs were put into place that encouraged landowners to plant trees ... in some cases encouraging farmers to convert some of their farm lands into forests."

I don't have the time to rake you guys over the coals all day but it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Meat is murder? Yeah, pretty much along the same lines as NASA. Good try. You need about 30 more IQ points to even come close.

Lol wut?

NASA isn't a reliable source?

:lmao:

I was being sarcastic... The fact he quoted radical anti-meat material does not have the same effect of quoting NASA... No, obviously NASA is a shit source radical left wing garbage. (See, sarcasm)
