one i'm sure the alarmists will call you and me evil and uncareing for asking.

I donated to teamtrees, wonder how many leftists climate alarmists did?

what did they even do other then "plant trees"?

tree farms do that all the time and then the alarmists cry when they cut them down years later.

i'm not saying that it was a bad donation, I just don't understand the value.

I just had a strange thought, what if the houseing bubble wasn't caused by government incompetence, but rather as a long game to get more controll over the banks?

20 million trees is actually a ridiculous number of tree. It will have an impact on the areas they replant, and it will be noticable

oh is it a targeted replanting effort then?

Specifically in stabilizing the landscape to protect from various forms of erosion

for the areas that were strip cut years ago?

or someplace else?

It's multiple locations, with a focus on replanting native species. But yeah it's aimed at depleted Forrests

So it's not like they're trying to start a jungle in the desert or anything

alrighty then, will be interesting to see if it is usefull at all in a few years.

Probably won't be really noticable until you compare 2020 to 2030, but end of the decade will be allot greener

In the literal sense

fair enough, but odds are the alarmists will drown out any good it really does.

Damage from floods will probably plummet

nah, the flood damage is more form more and more costly buildings in areas that flood anyway.

I'm saying is the rivers would stop jumping their banks and causing floods as much

how so?

Not as many floods=not as much damage

i mean how are the trees gonna change the shape of the rivers?

unless you are only planting on the rivers, but i don't think that is the case.

The roots act the same way rebar does for concrete

right right, but that only matters around the rivers.

The river can't erode a new path and needs to follow the river

I'm pretty sure I've read that damage from natural disasters is way down over the past few decades

I'll have to see if I can find a source on that

that would make sense as the technology and understanding thats employed in architecture has increased over time

This is from the Economist, so obviously they want to put an apocalyptic spin on it

But the trend was already turning downward for worldwide natural disasters at the time this article was printed
