Philippines tree planting program – a global model for climate progress, even if shovels serve double-duty knocking false environmentalists out of the way

Incredible as it sounds, some “environmentalists” are against tree-planting programs as a means to fight climate change because it allows fossil fuel companies to remain in existence. Time to look beyond the lunatics at programs that encourage the obvious benefits of reforestation…read on

  1. See, if jean cretin didn’t negotiate our carbon sinks away, we’d already met our kyoto commitments…

    also, planting trees is a good thing, because we need more trees.

      1. And for God’s sake plant more white oak. Charred white oak barrels are essential for properly aging almost all whiskey. The barrels are used, cleaned, and reused. Some recipes call for for a certain sequence of different liquors aged in the barrels over their life. Finally they’re used for fuel or ground up to make chips to flavor stuff on the grill.

    1. Of course, without rosewood people have to use synthetic on their 1911 grip panels! Yes really, not everyone can afford ivory.

    2. We should have more persimmon trees. That way we could replace golf’s metal drivers with climate friendly wooden head clubs. 🙂

  2. This whole article reinforces my best argument against a carbon tax.

    If we have all this huge boreal forest sucking up CO2, why do we need a carbon tax? Extrapolate that thought a little and ask, if we’re sucking up all the pollution and CO2 coming from the US (think the acid rain problem of a few decades back), why aren’t we charging the US a carbon tax?

    1. This is a great question. If most of the CO2 is coming from China, America and India then why does Canada tax it’s own people? Why not put a carbon tax on incoming products from the polluters?

      Oh, because the average Canadian voter is a moron. I forgot.

    2. I will try to explain this point again …. why do we have a carbon tax? It has nothing to do with carbon, or the climate …. it has everything to do with impoverishing the western world, destroying our cohesiveness with massive immigration from hell And to destroy, once and for all time, … the idea of individualism, personal freedoms, free market trade and capitalism.

      The replacement is a totalitarian world likely based on the Chinese system. Although, I have no idea who they will be selling their shit to since no one will have any money.

      So … why so many pointless broke-dicks hanging around the food dispensaries with nothing to do? … Well, they have a plan for that too.

  3. Except for pollution control in 3rd world countries, the planet is just fine, but where the weak point is, …. is lack of brainwash intervention which is required on a massive scale. It would seem that a impending possible rise of 1 degree temp over the next hundred years or so is driving otherwise normal people stark raving mad.

    1. Unfortunately that temp increase is a fallacy and the temp will and is dropping and will do so for the next 5 thousand years or more. if people want to worry about something worry about the cold as we will be starving when it is too cold to grow food. The growing seasons in Canada will cease to exist.

  4. It appears the environmentalists are applying the same philosophy to Global Warming as they do to a drug or alcohol addiction that is destroying one’s life. They believe that the until you hit rock bottom, you won’t begin to change and turn things around. So …. stop any efforts to clean things up and reforest what has been cut or burned etc.

    I can barely keep a straight face … but they think once the world it pretty much uninhabitable, we might just jump on board with some thing like the New Green Deal or some other equally stupid idea from one of the many vapid New York Clowns who currently infest the Democrat party.

  5. “even if shovels serve double-duty knocking false environmentalists out of the way”

    All environmentalists are false. We used to have something called Conservation. You should learn about it.

  6. No wait, just a second, let me think here; this has always been about destroying the fossil fuel industry, not saving the climate?
    Another person just admitted it. Ho hum, they’re impervious to thinking it through and we haven’t run out of rich people yet.
    But their syntax is off. They want everyone to freeze in the dark. Remember, poverty makes you happier and more appreciative.
    Violent do-gooders on their second milk shake are hopeful they’ll qualify for a basement suite at the local apparatchik’s place.

  7. Wouldn’t it be something if the only reason for carbon dioxide levels rising in the atmosphere was a result of deforestation? An easily fixable problem.
