Listen you cross posting ****wit, **** off, the planet can safely do without

And | remember, a mature forest has a net 0 effect on atmospheric gases - as trees | die they decompose releasing co2, in exact balance with the co2 that is | consumed by the growing trees. However a forestry where trees are grown | specifically for harvest does consume co2 from the atmosphere, and lock it | up in the form of wood that is now in houses etc, instead of that wood | decomposing when the tree dies naturally. So in fact, industries that use | wood are actually good for the atmosphere. | | elZee No-one was complaining about using planted forestry timber, only about the environmentally destructive practice of destroying old growth forests for cheap wood chips. Once logged, a forest is never the same as far as diversity goes, unless you want to class introduced weeds as diversity. Only a tiny percentage of old growth forests still exist in OZ, yet some greedy parasites keep wanting to destroy these few last remnants. Human greed and stupidity is destroying this planet, yet few have the balls to say enough is enough to these greedy individuals and companies who only really care about quick profits. |
