People like Al Gore and Alexandria Occasional-Cortex are screaming that \u201cWe\u2019re all going to DIE in 10 YEARS if we don\u2019t all become communists!!!\u201d or something. Are they wrong? Do we need to forgo the totalitarian form of government that Occasional-Cortex wants to implement? Not exactly it seems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The data, which compared satellite images from the mid-1990s taken by Boston University and those collected from two NASA satellites orbiting the earth for 20 years, showed that both China and India are leading the way in the greening of the globe. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Now I am a bit surprised to see that it is China and India and not the United States and Europe leading the way. I would have expected the Progressive Liberal Elites in the West would be at the forefront of reforestation projects. Of course, those cheap bastards won\u2019t spend one penny of their own money on things like this. No, they prefer to have the lower classes pay for it. Oh, they also will promptly wall off these areas and prevent any of the hoi polloi from enjoying the forests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/snob_che_frame.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16081\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/snob_che_frame-215x300.jpg?resize=215%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/snob_che_frame.jpg?resize=215%2C300&amp;ssl=1 215w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/snob_che_frame.jpg?w=268&amp;ssl=1 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Initially, researchers attributed the change to warmer weather, wetter climate and the fertilization from added carbon dioxide, but Rama Nemani, a research scientist at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center, said that the new data showed that \u201chumans are also contributing.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>So, a warmer climate with more CO2 in the air actually causes trees and bushes to grow?

The climate models that the Church of Global Warming put so much stock in basically don\u2019t work. When real climate scientists use them and load historical data into them, the results are basically, garbage. Now that I have that out of the way, let\u2019s consider the fact that we\u2019re planting more and more trees and other forms of plant life.<\/p>\n<p>Trees, flowers, bushes, all forms of plant life need carbon dioxide in order to live. More CO2 is better for them. It allows them to grow and prosper, eventually reaching the point when they become a house, or a chair, or even dinner. If we keep increasing the number of trees, we\u2019re going to run out of CO2. Without CO2, the trees will die. If the trees die, then we will die because trees make oxygen which we use. So, basically, we need to burn more trees so we may live.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6131\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth-300x134.jpg?resize=300%2C134\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth.jpg?resize=300%2C134&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth.jpg?resize=150%2C67&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth.jpg?resize=400%2C179&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/climatic-earth.jpg?w=589&amp;ssl=1 589w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enough with that silliness. Personally, I like trees. They are part of the ecosphere, just as much as humans are. Planting more trees is good, but, and this is something that drives the climate nuts even more insane, we also need carbon dioxide as well. The Earth is not going to turn into Venus, no matter what Alexandria Occasional-Cortex says, certainly not in 10 years. In point of fact, we may be entering a mini-ice age, and we will enter a major one in about 12-15 thousand years. Since I don\u2019t want to freeze, I would like to have another order of Global Warming with a side of CO2 to go please.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-28198\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"c72fa00184\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28198_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28198, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28198_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28198, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28198_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28198, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28198_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28198, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28198_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28198, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>4.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_28198_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-28198-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"angersentral\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"bottom\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Shop Related Products\";\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"tree farming\";\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"de075a669e304fc8dac73d1223de735a\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
