Quote from: RE on Feb 10, 2024, 02:35 AMI think the plan with the Amazon is to reintroduce forest to the parts that have been burned down to make way for cattle ranching.
Yes that is the plan of every armchair ecologist north of the Gulf of Mexico. All ten million. The rest watch football and give no shit. About anyone in the Amazon having this plan. You are kidding right? I hope so since that plan won't work after the hydraulic cycle beaks. The area only gets grassland rainfall once the forest is gone. With no way to get the forest growing rainfall back without the forest.
QuoteInsofar as it rotting after harvest, you can slow that process down considerably by treating the wood with linseed oil.
Cutting down a forest to grow linseed oil to preserve the other forests is against the rules. The point of putting wood under the sands of the Sahara will not be to dig it up later. Burying wood is only a thought experiment that simply demonstrates that most people don't know what the fuck they are talking about. The amazon stopped sequestering carbon thirty million years ago when it grew for the first time.
Other ways extreme infection by capitalism make people not know what they are talking about.
The herd thinks we can't have electric cars unless we use lithium because an electric car has to 'compete' against ICE cars in DE MARKETPLACE! And win. Something that has to be charged every hundred miles and can only go fifty miles an hour could get people to and from work, and back and forth to grocery stores.
But fuck that, and the long term stability of society. We want sexy and temporary followed by death. The sheeple have voted. They voted exactly the way they were programmed to vote, and they don't even know it was not their free choice to vote the way they did. As evidenced by the fact stupidity still rules the day. That is worth a high-five all by itself. And oh my fucking god. We couldn't make bio-char and plow it into farm fields conditioned with shit to make crops grow. Replenishing the soil. That idea is simply not sexy enough. We have to pretend piping CO2 into the ground would work without it coming back up instead. In complete denial of metabolic balance.
Current events weather-wise have made it necessary to repackage denial, but as the social lubricant that keeps things going, count on it being around for a long time.
