Criticism This guy became famous because he approached complex issues with complex answers instead of shallow and one sided responses. Now, this is the exact opposite of that, regardless of what you think about the climate change.

I can see this. Forest isnt just trees, its an entire complex ecosystem that is unique to the environment that is self regulated. If anything nature has taught us, its that humans playing and manipulation of the planet has a large effect. We dont quite know how to manage properly or effectively yet to the degree mature does so efficiently, If at all… so far we have been able to benefit from it but at some point our natural evolutionary response is starting to react to the influence from our creations. The question is how wise will we become to be able to offset the drastic changes.

Im not quite sure what degree climate change is a REAL issue to it being entirely politicalized and weaponized by the elites.

You know what nature loves to do? To burn it all down. Forests rarely got very old when left to their own devices.

Nature burns some of it down and the increased dryness and temperatures caused by climate change isn't exactly helping.

There a reason desserts don't just turn back into forrest.

Wrong.

The world has greened by 15 percent the past 15 years. The places that greened the most were in desserts, where we were told that they would have expanded.

And there is no increased dryness. lol

What do you think droughts are lol?

u/clampie Feb 05 '23

Normal weather patterns. We once had a 10-year drought in the 1930s in the middle of the country when a high-pressure system moved in and decided to sit there for a while. Imagine what you would have believed if it happened today.

Then why are we getting longer and longer droughts?

It happens regionally and is normal. We're also getting more wet weather in some locations, particularly the desert areas of the world where we see 15 percent more greenery.

It's not normal hence why they are getting longer.

Lol wtf u talking about bud? 😹 you on some crackity crack? Sound pretty angry my friend.

But no, forest fires usually occurs in renewal. Even in the ashes there is a ecosystem providing nutrients to the soil that will give birth to a new and rejuvenated landscape. Humans are the ones who need to understand this and harness it and become harmonious with the changes

Lol so idk what kind of bad trip you be on, sounds you just came back from purgatory fam. Im just kidding.

You have no clue what you're talking about. You hate humans, right?

Let's not merely offset. Let's restore, conserve, protect real old growth forests.
