Quote:we need all the trees we can get, trees are the lungs of the planet and if we are to survive climate change
Yes, I know it's from an old post but do people still think this way? Is climate change an issue we should concern ourselves over? Apart from being total bollox, if we ever did get warmer weather all it would do is help us all survive in a SHTF world - a warm world is easily survived much better than a cold one!
As for trees being the lungs..... that has long been discredited and re-assigned to the oceans.
But on-topic, trees form a large part of my life given I live in a forest! Our home is already woodstove-powered so heating costs are around £50/year (scavenging licence fee) and I work a lot with machined wood - lots of self-built outbuildings etc. SO anything to do with increasing the number of trees is always welcomed although given my location that's not really an issue - most of the trees around here are grown for harvesting.
