There are more trees in the US than a 100 years ago, small but they are there. They keep whacking the Amazon we might need more then!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

One acer of corn sequesters anywhere from 10 to 16 tons of carbon a growing season. It also produces enough oxygen for 131 people a growing season, during peak growing season it is believed to produce more oxygen than the Amazon rain forest per acer. also evaporates 3 to 4 thousand gallons of water a day. Some amazing numbers.

What have they done with all the money that has already been dumped into this? Nothing.

It's so sad the main stream media and liberal scientists have these impressionable kids now days convinced the world is collapsing unless people change their filthy habits. Heard a young girl on the radio this morning screaming at legislators that their inaction is killing us!
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

We are seeing more nomadic shifts in populations the last decades. As the population grows those migrations can have enormous impacts on the ecosystems, especially the ones that are more fragile by nature to begin with.
Bryce Those migrations aren't due to climate change but happen on war-torn continents such as Africa. Political strife is causing the movement. This climate hoax is the perfect storm for the left. They are earth-firsters first and American citizens second.

Climate change brings interesting problems with it. Mass migration is one. As seas rise, people in low lying areas get pushed to higher ground. If enough are forced to do this, the chain reaction will cause migrations to other countries. This will cause “we don’t want refugees coming here” conflicts around the world. Gosh, we’ve got it now with economic, personal security/safety and unstable governments as the cause. Migrations due to rising water will be worse. Bangladesh is experiencing that right now. It won’t be too much longer before New Jersey, Florida, Louisiana, other low-lying states and many island nations will be experience the same thing.
As the climate changes, insects (think disease carrying mosquitoes and flies) will move further north. We’ve seen brown Recluse spiders living well in southern Minnesota. Aedis ibopictus mosquitoes, which carry malaria (I think); Zika virus, Chagas’ disease and other things are moving north because our winters aren’t as severe—-and the mosquito and fly eggs can overwinter better meaning they’re surviving our winters. Ask local doctors if they’re seeing diseases that are more tropical today and they’ll all tell you it’s happening.
I studied tropical disease when I was in college in the early 1970s. At the time, I thought we’d never see these things in the Midwest. Guess again. Many are here now because it’s gotten warm enough to allow the insect hosts to survive.

There are trillions that can be spent on old infrastructure that needs to be redone anyway and we can build with future thoughts in mind. We have spent nearly 3 trillion in the Middle East in the last 20 years in military engagements. We may have been able to create far more jobs and improve much of our infrastructure here and abroad with those funds. Obviously not all would be spent on such projects but much could have. Just some barrier projects that would help the Outer Banks and regions like that make sense as storm surges are here ready or not. Can't protect all of it but certainly we could improve a lot on what we have now. Today we just rely on FEMA and insurance which is the reactive approach.
Bryce Yep. And we should not pretend it is only those who show concern over climate change that are worried about the economics of it.

So you think that a rise in sea level of 0.11 inches per year is going to cause mass flooding and migration in the immediate future ?

I have no idea when tides are measured. I only know that when houses stay wet for extended periods of time, and it affects one’s livelihood, people tend to move.
