This is a VERY EXCELLENT visual of how our global jungles and vital forests are being cut down. And since I came across it looking for something else, I better use it here. If you don't realize how bad this is, you weren't paying attention to your primary schools basic science lesson back in the 60 and 70s before global climate catastrophe was an issue.

The rate of the loss of tropical rainforests is alarming.Quote from: "Fashionista"
AGW would not be a problem is tens of thousands of acres of tropical rainforest was not being cleared for fuel alternatives like ethanol.

Two trees should be planted for every tree cut down.Quote from: "Gaon"
It's not just trees but every living thing, plant and animal underneath them.
You cannot replant what took thousands of years to create.
But yes, we still need to grow gardens and and have trees in them.
Globally it's worse than dire.

Overall there are more trees on this planet than before. However, the diversity has taken a hit (which is part natural and part man made).Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
google earth maps show otherwise.
people like you are in such denial, you are causing the death of the whole planet.
You won't be happy until it's all gone... either join the crusade to save what's left of it or bugger off clueless.
Keep arguing about your stupid anti-vaccinations claims, no one listens to your arguments about them either.

Like your 54c SA degree claim?Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
I didn't claim it... I'm sure the day she sat in my kitchen last Saturday she said something like 52.4... and thought, I heard 49.5 or 6 at Port Augusta on the news... and thought, "is she wrong or was it another time?"
I'm not claiming it, my niece claimed it.
Does it really matter?
Those temps mean sure death to humans and animals alike... nothing to sneeze at.
That's why you need to leave your trees on the farms.... every farmer who is going broke I say tough titties. You ridded your land of the most vitally important part of it... TREES. You thinned out the forests so now more weeds have infested them making them even MORE fire hazardous. You mismanaged our world and our children and animal are suffering and within a few short years, you made the planet uninhabitable.
I'm not pulling any punches anymore and tip-toeing around the subject.

My mum was in hospital last year for 6 months. The hospital wastes food that could feed a village. Sick people can't eat much but are served 5 star meals and even the untouched packaged food is binned.

We need trees that's who. Besides being a carbon sink, they prevent soil erosion and the desertification of arable land. The ancient Chinese wish they could go back in time and stop the desertification of the Gobi desert.

I like trees. I do. Even if some of them are funny-looking.
On a straight up note, I'm the only one at work trying to make sure that both the plants in our public areas and the trees and shrubbery on our grounds are well tended to and well fed. I'm also trying to encourage our clients to participate in caring for the greenery.
It's a losing battle. They can't even properly care for themselves. I try to highlight the link between gardening (or caring for other forms of life, whether plant or animal) and self-care but it's a struggle to make them see that when their main concern is where their next fix will come from.

Once a person gets a taste for greenery, it's addicting. Every spring and summer, my wife and I spend more time in our back yard garden than we did the year before. When we move to Panama, we'll have our own little rain forest.

I know, Jock. I was in a satirical mood when I wrote that.Quote from: "Blurt"
I like trees. I do. Even if some of them are funny-looking.
On a straight up note, I'm the only one at work trying to make sure that both the plants in our public areas and the trees and shrubbery on our grounds are well tended to and well fed. I'm also trying to encourage our clients to participate in caring for the greenery.
It's a losing battle. They can't even properly care for themselves. I try to highlight the link between gardening (or caring for other forms of life, whether plant or animal) and self-care but it's a struggle to make them see that when their main concern is where their next fix will come from.
::sigh::
I didn't think you were clubbing baby trees.:laugh:
Once a person gets a taste for greenery, it's addicting. Every spring and summer, my wife and I spend more time in our back yard garden than we did the year before. When we move to Panama, we'll have our own little rain forest.
There's a lot of satisfaction that comes from growing a successful crop, plant, vineyard, trees or whatever.

As a kid, I used to plant saplings(?) in the cleared zones..Quote from: "Odinson"
It paid about 50euros per day.. Of course we had finnish marks back then.
All the kids were doing it and they are doing it now.
My husbands's extended family back in Austria own a forest. They were never allowed to cut it down...
I own some forest...
What I do is thinning it so that the pine-trees have more room to grow..
I don't know what they do... there is a language barrier... We speak English and Kurt's remaining uncle speaks German... all the young ones speak English though... Kurt went over there in the 70s when he was 21... he hasn't gone back. My mother-inlaw has visited 3 or 4 times.

A doctor in charge of mental facility once told me that there is no reason for them to act violent.. And that they have been spoiled by their mothers..

We've had a few horrific murders in this country where the killer was found not guilty by reason of insanity. In one particularly brutal murder, the killer changed his name and is free. Can the people that freed him guarantee he will take his meds everyday???Quote from: "Shen Li"
Why wasn't the person maintained in a mental institution unil cured?
Their sentence should be labeled something, like, second degree murder, and their form stamped, life Mental fascility, never to be released or whatever their case maybe... they should NEVER EVER EVER be allowed let go, unpunished.

And they won't lock up druggie mothers who are pregnant to save the babies from a life of handicap hardship because society does not consider unborn babies to be human just yet.
I consider a person going through with a pregnancy child a human and it should be protected even from it's own mother's drug and alcohol addictions.

This is why your average citizen is very angry deep inside.. They're not visibly expressing anger perhaps but it's there all the same.
I have a Canadian beggar on my fb tree site... wants money for 128 Ugandan orphans
I don't trust anything out of Africa due to the horrific violence they love to dish-out on each other.
Here is what he just said to me...
Then I said to the arsehole...
Check your news about Australia... we have farmers committing suicide over prolonged drought, floods wiping out towns and cattle and MANY MANY people in my own country in need of serious help. We don't ask Africa for help or ayone... we help where we can and we don't used orphan children as a guise.

It's a police initiative. Although they could afford to do more. They get a fortune from police auctions.
We support MS (multiple sclerosis ) and Police and Citizens... Sometimes the Life Savers (beach volunteers) And that's it.
I'm more likely to chip in to law suit cases... The last one was to stop the Roe 8 project destroying some bush and wet lands. I donated $200 to that. Not much, but something.
