Biden Makes Bizarre Claim That “We Cut Down All Our Forests”

[Moonglow]

Well fuck. Thanks for that. I’m sure none of us knew.

Now do the definition of woman.

Start a thread on it since you don't know.

United States Deforestation Rates & Statistics | GFW. In 2010, United States had 252Mha of natural forest, extending over 29% of its land area. In 2020, it lost 1.59Mha of natural forest, equivalent to 683Mt of CO₂ emissions.

He used the word "all". we haven't done that.

FDR electrified the rural areas of the US where people used wood to heat and cook with thus reducing the need for wood as a fuel. He also started the planting of trees where the past era of the US was deforested.

You noticed, killer.

He has yet to do anything progressive.

Not true. Rampant crime, violence, and inflation are hallmarks of EVERY "progreSSive" regime.

Hey all, remember when the federal Bureau of land management let Yellowstone National Park burn for forever before being forced to put the fire out?

By the way, know why there are more mature trees in the US today then 100 years ago?

We replant what we use, and 100 years ago, we didn't have modern equipment to put the fires out. A lightning fire could burn for months back then. Putting it out was relying on weather, not on human intervention.

And oh, by the way, when you think about it, what are trees? Just another form of crops!

 

[Rambunctious]

There are millions of acres of forest in the USA....hey Joe....you dummy...(whisper) it grows back.....

I saw the damage of the 1987 fires about five years later. It was massive. I usually go up there quite often but hadn't been in about 10 years. I went up there up last year and the new growth into forests has erased any clues of the fires in 1987.

Do you ever post anything other than idiot-grams? a seven second phrase out of context is bullshit. You belong in the rubber room.

Put in context for us.
Oh wait. You can’t.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Deforestation-the action of clearing a wide area of trees.

yeah. it's called furniture, toys, cooking items, HOMES....do you have a home? furniture? how about wood spoons in your kitchen...then you're a hypocrite.

At least Joe didn’t shake hands with his friend Harvey the Rabbit today. But the day is young.

US Has More Trees Now Than 100 Years Ago - The Green Optimistic

Thanks to decades of forest growth exceeding harvesting rates the US officially has more trees now compared to 100 years ago.

I cannot speak to the amount of forest trees, but I have opinion of the quality of trees for timber an commercial sale. Most of the wood for doors, jambs and trim has changed drastically for the worse. 40 to 50 years ago the the coin of the realm, so to speak was white fir. It was known for beautiful even grained, very hard, great even stain absorbition without an applied treatment and great for painting, also. If you tried to supply soft pine, the market did not want it, as it was and is inferior. Old growth seems to be being replaced by much faster growing softer pines, to the point of no lumber yard carrying the higher quality as general stock in this country. The softer pines grow faster, but with more knots. The softer wood is more prone to warping. It is very hard to stain without a pretreatment, as stain absorption tends to vary by the foot, with so much residual tars and saps, to make some areas on a clear lineal 16 pc almost impossible to stain smoothly as some area will not accept stain at all, while others, suck it up like a sponge. Everything you see at the lumberyards is the lower quality pines, and this applies to trim as well has jambs. My home was built in 1962. All the jambs are clear flat jambs, both on doors and window. The wood quality is uniformly excellent, indeed when change various rooms from paint to stain, the jambs turned out to be door quality similar to what is used by premium door manufacturers such as Simpson Master Mark or Buffelen Door. Now many wood door manufacturers in this country are even going to the cheaper fast-growing pines, due to availability and price. As more wood is painted than stain, the shift has gone further making cheap MDF (medium density fiberboard) mostly from other countries in South America instead of finger jointed firs or even pines. That stuff is nothing but sawdust and water based thickener then squeezed out of a mold. When buying doors of more expensive mahogany, you aren't even getting mahogany, just some distant cousin, genetically, also primarily sourced from outside the country. No matter how you slice it, wood in this country just ain't what it used to be, but you would probably say, I am a wood snob from being from the industry for so many years.
That said, for all you true greenies out there, most of the wood I have written about comes from conifers and the needles grown probably in greater numbers as the more knotty the pine, the more branches and needles, probably have a greater carbon dioxide/oxygen exchange than the old growth firs that used a blanket the great northwest, and are much faster to grow and renew.
This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Like many Dems, LIES flow from Biden's mouth like a fountain.

 

[BluesLegend]

Imagine how many more we’d have if it wasn’t for the lefts moronic forest non-management policies.

Or the left's insistence on clear cutting which the timber industry has told them is retarded.

Thanks to FDR yes.

The National Park system was created by Theodore Roosevelt.

Those were never going to be cut down because of FDR's relative...
