Germany: Why dying forests could be good newsIn the central Harz region in Germany, over 90 percent of spruce trees are dead or dying because of climate change and insect damage. But they’re being replaced by a more resilient forest, with a more abundant ecosystem....
Fucking liars, they are killing the trees off so they can use these eco cons, when they've destroyed all the trees the planet will be fucked anyway. When Dutch elm disease swept through southern Britain in the 1960s and 70s, over 90% of elms were lost; an estimated 25 million trees.Watching the Raney family in Alaska rescuing isolated Homesteads in distress, exposed sections of forests that have died for various reasons. So its not uncommon. |

They have to add their bullshit that they are dying due to climate change which is total lie. Many trees die from either disease or neglect. Look how many Elms, Oaks and Beech trees have been killed of by either diseases or parasites etc.. Exactly, and these house builders are killing off trees to get past tree preservation orders, I've got a mate who oversees building applications, he told me that it was very strange that where there were tree preservation orders and builders were after the lands that mysteriously the trees started to die off, trees that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years all of a sudden die off when house builders want the land. And how many rtees have councils cut down for their vanity projects or bloody cycle lanes? |

They play the environmental card to bung loads of green taxes on our bills, while on the next breath destroying the countryside to build concrete jungles, they really do think we are thick. |

I'm interested to know just how much green tax the average bod is likely to be paying. |

There are many more trees being planted than those that are deliberately removed. An agreement to that effect is common place these days. |

But when I pay my electricity bill it is with money which has already been taxed. Why do we have VAT on domestic fuel, it is just as essential as staple foods, which has zero VAT? |

Many pensioners who were entitled to Pension Credits, have now applied for it, meaning that not only will they get a top up to their pension EVERY MONTH but they will also get the WFA. Looks like a win win to me. |

By the time they apply for the pension credit it will take at least two months, by which time they'll be a block of ice, which is what the government are hoping for, get rid of the surplus population.
