I’m in NC. My birthday isnin early October. I love the fall and remember helping my dad rake all the leaves around the time of my birthday and jumping all in them as a kid. There are no leaves on the ground anymore in early October - it’s still very hot. In fact, we now rake leaves well into December.

Don't worry...the true "experts" like Baal Gates are busy implementing their "solutions" because they just care so much about us and about the planet!

It's SCIENCE!!! Don't question "The Science".

If this scheme sounds criminally insane to you, and exactly the OPPOSITE of what should be done, it's just because you don't understand THE SCIENCE!


Bill Gates Pushes Plan to Chop Down 70 Million Acres of Trees to ‘Fight Global Warming’

Microsoft co-founder is funding a new effort that seeks to chop down a staggering 70 million acres of trees in an effort to allegedly “fight global warming.”

Gates’s organization, Breakthrough Energy, has plowed $6.6 million into the project led by Kodama Systems.

The move will see 70m acres of forests, mostly in the Western United States, cut down.

After the trees have been chopped down, they will be buried.

According to the project organizers, “scientists” say “burying trees can reduce global warming.”

Kodama claims that burying the trees will prevent them from allegedly “spewing” carbon back into the air.

Unusually hotter through 2008-2016 ever since cooler on average. I always wonder if I'm the only person who hears the hottest month on record and thinks how could it be hotter everywhere but here (the Southeast). Tennessee has glacial and oceanic influenced soils, so apparently climate change isn't a new thing. Using it to bilk billions and scare kids into compliance is. I had a highly esteemed botany/ecology professor that read through Al Gores book Earth in the balance during class, then spit on it and threw it the garbage. I'll never forget him screaming this book is bullshit and an insult to science.

Thank goodness for people like Bill and members of the WEF for keeping us simpletons from destroying ourselves.

I really wish idiotic internet "articles" would stop being used as .... "evidence". Yeh, my sister sent me the exact same article. I read it and then I researched it. Of course, no where in the article did it talk about the goal of thinning sick forests, or removing dead trees, all things that come about because we have prevented forest fires and now have forest that when they burn are much more deadly. And that was the point of the plan - removing timber that created a dangerous situation and burying it to reduce carbon emissions.

If you think it is a stupid plan, then at least put the full plan in context correctly - otherwise, repeating photoshopped news to prove a point is pointless.

I personally can't stand Bill Gates and I see him as a fascist. But I don't need to misconstrue what his plans are to prove my point.

Honestly here in Northern Ontario the weather is the same as its ever been, when I first got into fishing for migratory species like steelhead and salmon, I would pick the brains of the oldest guys in town if they were alive today they'd be over 100 years old by now, and great lakes salmon and steelhead still run at the same time pretty much to the exact day like clockwork, as when they were first introduced to the great lakes ecosystem, may the 20th for the spring steelhead run and the fall salmon run is variable and starts around the 15th of september for pinks and october 1st for coho and kings, fall steelhead start following the pinks around the 15th of september they don't spawn but they come to eat the salmon eggs and then winter in the creeks awaiting the spring to spawn. The moose rut happens at the same time and the migratory birds come at the same time, the groiund freezes and the snow stays at the same time. Now I'm not saying climate change isn't real but I don't see it. That being said we ALL, every single one of us need to take better care of our environment whether its happening or not and at whatever rate it may or may not be happening. Do your part to live a clean life and leave what we have to further generations to experience and enjoy. There is no excuse not to.

I think the ultimate goal is subtract, subtract, subtract.
Yeh, yes.

There is only one math.

Addition.

Add rapidly and repeatedly and you have multiplication.

Add negative numbers and you have subtraction.

Add negative numbers repeatedly and quickly and you have division.

A fraction is in essence a division problem, a ratio, and so much more.

While we are at it, The formula for the area of a circle is the same as the formula of a rectangle when the length of the rectangle is always 3.14... times greater than the width of the rectangle. The radius of a circle is nothing more than the width of a rectangle when the essence of the circle is expressed as an infinite amount of pizza slices. Enjoy that one.

First off, it's all based on the assumptions that "climate change" is causing fires, and that carbon is a big problem. I reject both of these assertions.

Fires are a completely different issue from "global warming". If we want to talk about fires, do we need to get back to responsible forest management? Hell yes.

But Baal's lunatic schemes are not that...they are just more of his insane ideas that God only knows what the true agenda behind them is. How this guy ever became a medical and every other type of "science" expert is beyond comprehension. Whatever he says, just assume it's bullshit and you'll be right 99.9% of the time.

He also has some scheme to block the sun. And he's buying up massive amount of farm land for his insane schemes to end meat eating.

Ever notice how he has a perpetual shit-eating grin on his face...and just can never help himself but to snicker when he talks about people dying? The guy is psycho.

Don't get me wrong. All though I don't buy anything anyone says if they found it on the internet, the news, television, the newspapers, church, school, etc, .... I agree with your sentiment. As I said, I am no fan of Bill. But I am no fan of the conspiracy baiting that goes on too freely on the internet. People need something to believe and the internet is a feast for the hungry.

That said, I do think the West is quickly sinking into the proverbial ocean and seeing its sunset. It will do all of this on its own. I'll smoke my pipe while I watch it all.

Here in CT winters seem shorter but colder and summer is hotter and more humid but short lived. Fall barely shows itself until it gets too cold for fall quicker and spring lasts two weeks and back to summer. Weather changes around here every 15 mins as the saying goes. 90 to 95F range now for about 5 days humidity 60 to 70 percent according to my guages. Thursday broke heat records I heard here. Last winter saw temps in the single digits F. Sometimes summers here remind me of Chennai IN which gets regularly in the 35 to 40C range and sometimes above 40C and humidity in the 70 to 80 pct range. Miami area in August is hot too. I'll take heat and humidity over ice and snow every time. I only have AC on for the wife. I warm up outside when its on. 😆

The last couple years were warm and dry, this summer has been cold and wet. It's so wet that I have had 5 kinds of mushrooms grow in my normally dry yard, and it is getting close to frosting overnight already, it was only 5°C the last couple nights.

Despite the cold and wet weather, we have had several "wildfires." The majority of them are apparantly human caused, some arson, but more often negligence and/or incompetence.

I have lived in North Texas my whole life, and it's always hot in the summer. I think one of the big changes is how people react to it.

When I was a kid in the 80s, it seemed like most of the people in town drove around with their windows down (certainly the men - I still do this a lot and get chided from others : "Aren't you HOT?!?"). You'd go into the feedstore, etc, and there was no AC, but there would be fans going and paperweights on countertops to keep things from being blown around by them. Many of the old men wore button-up long-sleeve shirts all year round.

Yes, you'd hear someone gripe about the heat now and then (usually an old lady), but not like now. Everyone now drives with the AC blasting, and every place of business has the AC blasting. People walk around half naked, and if you wore one of those same long-sleeve shirts of yesteryear, you'd get funny looks.

I went to a funeral a few days ago and there was an after-gathering at a local house. It was held under a carport outdoors (it was about 103 or so). I still had on my jacket from the service and multiple people chided me for not taking it off.

All said, I think people are just a lot weaker and more apt to complain than in years past.

Parting shot:
I still believe in the common sense of the average man on the street, and I believe the average man instinctively knows all the climate science (along with the covid and trans madness, which is all part of the same thing: the extinction of the human race as we have always known it) is in large part bullshit. But he just doesn't know what to do about it.
