Really it's you refusing to admit the US has been deforested to a large degree by earlier exploitation, as though it doesn't count.It's clearly me saying you really are putting in a LOT of effort to appear dumber than TM.

You have exposed yourself as an idiot.I think you want to have it both ways while talking in generalities you haven't thought through but which sounded good in the echo chamber.I am well aware that gov regs helped clean up America.
You think government knows how to regulate. LMFAO!

now what you just claimed is what 'leaping to a conclusion' really is.
man, I know it's early, but put the computer down and finish your tea.

nobody cares.Rates of Deforestation & Reforestation in the U.S.
http://education.seattlepi.com/
Current Forest Cover
As of 2010, the United States had 304,022,000 hectares (751,255,000 acres) of forested lands, a number that represents one-third of the country. Of this area, 25 percent is old growth forest, 67 percent is secondary forest, and 8 percent is tree farms or plantations. The United States is frequently divided into the Northeast, Southeast and the West because of forest eco-type and historical forestry practices. These regions have 41 percent, 40 percent and 28 percent forest cover, respectively, although the West has the most acres of forested lands.
Historical Forest Trends
It is estimated that prior to European settlement, the United States. was 46 percent forested. European settlers quickly harvested much of the available timber for housing, industry, the creation of railroads and to clear land for farming. By 1907, the U.S. forest cover was reduced to 33 percent. The eastern portion of the nation was disproportionately affected during this era because it was more heavily settled and had better agricultural soils and climate than the West. Since 1953, the trend in the northern region has been increasing forest cover while the South and West have trended level to slightly downward.
Deforestation Rates
The United States lost an average of 384,350 hectares (949,750 acres) of forest each year between 1990 and 2010. A total of almost 4 million hectares (10 million acres) of timber is harvested each year, but most of that timber regenerates and remains classified as forested land, albeit at a different successional stage. So the deforestation here refers to lands that are converted from forest to some other purpose. Deforestation could increase in the future because tree pests and diseases such as bark beetles are becoming more prevalent in the face of climate change.
Not according to the citation I gave. 33% of land was forested in 1907, which is the current rate of forestation.B/c there's more trees now than 100 years ago
Scaring big bad libertarians.for what?

At which point about 25% of original forest area had been lost.
I have only banned one other person in all my years here. For some reason I let this ignorant weasel get to me.

he kinda funny, in a sad pathetic sort of way

Yeah? You a secret mod? How scary.I have only banned one other person in all my years here.
you proved me rightFrom this link in that link...
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),
After two centuries of decline, the area of US forestland stabilized in about 1920 and has since increased slightly. The forest area of the US is about two-thirds what it was in 1600.Yahoo answers doesn't really cut it. Sorry. But in any case it has been government regulation that has promoted what recovery there has been from private exploitation. How this can be disputed is beyond me.
Enjoy your black lung
Enjoy your dirty water
Enjoy knowing that your kids and grand kids will never know or see most animal life that you got to see.
Enjoy the smog
I remember when Bush was accused of this same rubbish when he entered office.You are a fucked up liar. Trump cares nothing about clean water. The doing away with the rules concerning mountain top mining allows the pollution of watersheds, that shows that the treasonous old clown cares nothing about clean water.You're just acting paranoid. Trump supports clean water and both you and I know that.Yep that nasty clean water really does bog down economic giants...They were put in place to weaken America and to rob us of our wealth concentrations.The "environmental" regulations wisely being reversed were put in place for one reason. And that is to damage the American economy.
Obama admittedly wanted to make electricity rates skyrocket.
President Obama thought that the cost of wind and solar would not decrease as rapidly as they have. He was wrong, as the cost of both have rapidly decreased, and now it is cheaper to install wind and solar, and both produce electricity for less cost than do coal or gas. That is why in Texas they are installing both at record rate. So renewables are saving money for the customers.
The only wealth concentrations the UN is worried about is in the US.What an idiot you are. The wealth concentrations are now investing in renewables as they see a better return on their money in those sectors than the do in fossil fuels.They were put in place to weaken America and to rob us of our wealth concentrations.The "environmental" regulations wisely being reversed were put in place for one reason. And that is to damage the American economy.
At any rate, renewables are a joke. Many of them require lots fossil fuel, to make them.The only wealth concentrations the UN is worried about is in the US.What an idiot you are.

Nevermind all of the wealth concentrations in countries like Saudi Arabia that sell fossil fuels.
Those WC aren't even a problem.
Ask Saudi Arabia and other oil producers to contribute to their own competitors???
Figure the odds.
Renewable producers need to learn how to be self-sufficient like every other business.
Gooooo Trump!!!!!!!
And I thought Trump just sat around played golf, watched television and trolled the MSM...
67 Environmental
Rules on the Way
Out Under Trump
By NADJA POPOVICH, LIVIA ALBECK-RIPKA andKENDRA PIERRE-LOUIS UPDATED Jan. 31, 2018
Since taking office last year, President Trump has made eliminating federal regulations a priority. His administration — with help from Republicans in Congress — has often targeted environmental rules it sees as overly burdensome to the fossil fuel industry, including major Obama-era policies aimed at fighting climate change.
To date, the Trump administration has sought to reverse more than 60 environmental rules, according to a New York Times analysis, based on research from Harvard Law School’s Environmental Regulation Rollback Tracker, Columbia Law School’s Climate Tracker and other sources.
33rules have been overturned
24rollbacks are
in progress
10rollbacks are
