Default Just more liberal snake oil

I suppose Greta Thunberg is the resident expert on global warming (ooops - now the PC term is “climate change”)….

It’s complete nonsense to think that humans would have the ability to manipulate the earth’s climate that has been doing its thing for a few billion years. 500 experts wrote a letter to the UN stating that there’s no climate emergency. I suppose they’re all quacks too???

Nobody has asserted that Thunberg is a scientific expert.

Nobody but shills for the coal and oil industries is still signing letters like the one you cite. Even oil company CEOs acknowledge global warming and that we have to change

Everyone is a little testy this morning, must be the rain.
It's alright for people to have different opinions but we shouldn't turn this thread political.
As everyone can see by the posts it falls on the political line to the left and right.

The presence of trees keeps strong winds from uprooting their nearby neighbor-trees. Now that the earth is saturated, we can expect more loss of trees.

A neighbor had his adjacent lot evaluated for building on. The environmental survey (of which I have a copy) wrote, "Unsuitable for structures". Ten years ago, that soggy lot was sold and built upon. Most of the trees between our lots have been incrementally blown over in the same direction.

On the other side of our place, the majority are straight, as a forest of trees would be expected to be. Most within 50-feet of the water are leaning over the lake. Most of those have been affected by erosion: Large boulders are sliding in. Some actually fall, and are even heard--as they roll in.

All this rain will have consequences.

I'm hoping we do not see a hurricane hit this area this year (actually I hope one never hits this area).

A bad hurricane will tip over trees like pins falling in a bowling alley because the ground is so saturated.

It appears the Lake level is continuing to rise. My dock is now underwater with weights holding the boards in place. When will it go down? It appears Lakeport dam is operating at near full capacity discharge...

Even though some trees may be 100 years old, they don't have deep root systems, since much of NH doesn't have deep dirt. Hate to lose the trees, but better to be the "Granite State" than the "Deep Dirt" state. Walking though the (~100 acres) woods behind our camp, we find huge pines that have blown down despite being several hundred feet into theprotection of other trees. Sometimes, a really big one will get hit by lightning and explode like a firecracker. Shards can be found stuck in the ground many feet away from the tree base. It is intriguing to wander through woods that have not been managed, harvested or otherwise maintained for over 100 years after the sheep stopped grazing the land.

First of all my post specifically was not political secondly, it is OK to have different opinions just don’t twist my opinion around like you did and don’t leave my replies under the guise of being testy after spinning my statement to fit your narrative
