Wtf? What about wild life? ground erosion? flooding? lost of top soil? Heating of the ground? This plan is beyond stupid top off by even stupid by wasting the wood.
Where are they getting these ‘scientists?’ Trees use CO2 and emit oxygen
From article
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.
The coordinators of the project are choosing to reap the salable carbon offsets by burying the biomass in dry & oxygen-free “earthenvaults.”
The trees will be buried instead of being used for conventional means, like timber for housing.
if they chop down the trees en masse, they can get the co2 levels raised and then have evidence of global warming. these liberals are morons. they spent decades ranting about saving the trees, now they will destroy them to enforce thair false narratives.
This is somewhat deceptive. The actual plan is to clean up dead and dying trees and debris that is deemed a fire hazard. By burying all this, they believe they will be avoiding future forest fires and the resulting injection of carbon into the atmosphere.
This might sound reasonable, but this is not going to be a few people walking through the woods picking up branches, this will be a massive industrial operation. The planet doesn't need us to do this, it is designed to be self-regulating and self-correcting. There are trees that ONLY propagate by having their seeds subjected to fire/heat. We'll be bypassing nature and taking responsibility for all the routine maintenance that it has done since Earth began. We don't have the knowledge, skill or the level of maturity to take on that role.
Also destroys the bio-diversity of the forest. Leaving it untouched isn't always the best either, which is not to say that we shouldn't have nature preserves, but I've seen the transformation of a wilderness area that was selectively logged - it went from nearly dead to a lot more diversity and wildlife. But what do I know? I'm not a degreed or self appointed expert on forest management....
I think a nearly-dead area will inevitably rejuvenate itself, but we're impatient. We fast-track everything to suit our needs with little or no concern for the long term impact of doing so.
I'm currently trying to bend 26 acres to my will in order to become more self-reliant. It's very humbling to see nature's reactions to everything I do. I can almost hear it saying "Please don't do that.", "I warned you that would happen", "You're not looking at the big picture", etc.
I guess you could also say that the arsonists caught in WA, OR, CA in 2020 who are responsible for thousands of aces of burned out forest, towns (like Talent,OR) and dozens of people who died were also bypass nature too
Please God stop this sick bastard !

they better have proper environmental impact studies done prior.
Evil men do evil things...

It's so that people can't go and form sylvan, agrarian breakaway societies from the Smart City Hellscapes.

Something stop this insane excuse for a human being
He is just trying to keep himself occupied during the plan to eliminate 70 million Pedophiles. Chop Chop
I am willing to give Bill Gates his own planet to do with as he wishes. Let's send him to one.
I think a single bullet to the head would be cheaper.
maybe that will launch him to pluto, someone should give it a try. in minecraft of course.
rape is only when the one on the receiving end does not consent.

Why the fuck is he allowed to make a plan. Fuck, these sob are something else.
Where are the Sierra Club forest protectors?
He's not stupid, he's a sociopath.
He wants to chop them to create more carbon. Trees breath in carbon and release oxygen. This fuck face knows
Gates didn't go to college.
Even without a College Degree, he couldn't possibly be this DUMB!
It shows
If they would stop setting the trees on fire, that would cut down on CO2 emissions.
Wood chipper. Feet first
What a total moron.
Pine trees are causing global warming?
Rich moron
It's funny that we still use the term "chop down". I guess when it happens someone will "videotape" it.
Sound's like an excuse to harvest wood for China.
