Sometimes back Mr Morar ji Desai,the then prime minister of India,was asked about the after effects of falling the Sky lab,his reply was that I do not want to die before I die.It is good to keep the moral up.But it is not the solution.Then what is the solution ? Do we have one to tell?In fact it is a natural process.We can not do any thing to it. Best way is to monitor it if we can and try to adapt it.Things will be much better then now.Nature or God who is our father we should have full faith in them and should go on doing our duty towards each other honestly and sincerely thinking to give than to grab.God bless our univers and the dear mother in specific.

I see that you deleted my previous posts. Ah good ol’ American censorship of inconvenient facts. So tell me, how’s that different from communism?

By the way “forest managers” and loggers are the same people.

And by the way, the only people keeping the “climate change is controversial” lie alive are right-wing “think”-tanks feeding at the corporate trough and the relatively few “scientists” in their employ.

This is one innane knee-jerk post.

“History shows us that when logging groups controlled the forests they acting as good sheppards [sic] clearing away the small trees that act as fuel for wild fires as well as clearing away dead trees while planting new ones at exponential rates.”

So let’s see, you want to take away our National Forests (and Parks?) from the public and sell them to private logging industries. You then want them to remove the all the young trees then turn around and ask the industry to replant trees in an unnatural tree-farm monoculture like way. You want the dead trees that many species rely upon and that replenishes the soil to be removed. Why not just sterilze the forest in the process?
You seem to be blind to the rapacious clear-cutting that logging interests are notorius for. A clearcut forest does not a “healthy forest” make. A clearcut is not a home for the diversity of species the environment needs to stay healthy. And guess what, we are dependant upon the environment. Giving our forests to businesses that have a one sided view of their worth is simply asking the chicken to guard the henhouse.
