I think it’s so important to speak up about the limitations of tree planting as a way of “cancelling out” clear cutting. A young monoculture has very little of the benefits of an older forest.
I like Dominick, bring him back for more.
im in tears because i see so much suffering everywhere and yet this beautiful man just loves trees so much and i just love him and i love trees and its too much.
Can’t remember the last time I watched a wired video without hearing “Trump this trump that”. Probably why viewership has been dropping. Lol.
Thank you! Finally someone who doesn’t equate the perfectly natural California wildfires as part of a climate change narrative. These fires are designed to burn. It has nothing to do with climate change!
Basically, this is just the plot of Elden Ring.
Trump is wrong again, as always.
