ALL THE TREES DISAPPEARING in ONE TO TWO YEARS?

Question

Will the worlds tree population as a whole be no more in one to two years. Discuss ?

Answer 1

Why would the trees die? It's a pretty silly suggestion since trees have existed thru past interglacials all the way back to the Triassic, 250 million years ago. Temps back then got much warmer than we are going to get before the ice age returns. If anything we'll have far more trees since like all plants they love CO2 and the more they get the faster they grow and the less water they require. We're also planting additional trees to help remove CO2 which will increase their numbers. Trees existed before humans and they will probably be here after we're gone.

Answer 2

no in a yr or two but maybe 50 yrs or more

Answer 3

There are actually more trees now then 100 years ago. Most people, if asked, would likely think otherwise because we've been conditioned to think we're a nation of despoilers with no sense of conservation. Not true. Is this your hypothetical or did you read this somewhere?

Answer 4

No way are the trees disappearing, they are actually increasing in numbers. Why do people think that they are, has to do with myth’s put out there by the globalists who see people as the enemy, and nature as this pristine entity.

More trees exists in numbers today because our technology of forest management, and fire fighting ability was non-existent 200 years ago. Also, lumber companies plant as many trees as they cut down. Why cut down all the trees when, trees are the very thing that lumber companies need to make profits ? That would be mad!

No; I’ll bet you the ice ages had very little vegetation growth because of the cold, and with massive cloud cover and even less CO2 in the air. North America was a giant glacier at one time. How many trees are there at the North Pole ?

As the planet warms, more and more vegetation will grow, including trees. So trees will always be on Earth for another billion years or so.. Don’t worry about it.

Answer 5

I don't think we could eradicate trees even if the entire world population united and devoted our entire existence to doing so.

I have colleagues at the USFS Forest Products Labaoratory.  They claim that we have more timber in the U.S. than we could ever harvest.  It simply replaces itself more quickly than it is cut down.

Answer 6

A natural death or caused by man? I have actually noticed both increasing, especially this winter and spring. southern Pennsylvania is losing a certain population of white birch trees as our climate develops into one similar to that of Virginia's. In the mean time, invasive species are on the rise and I have been seeing an interestingly high rate of trees in my area that have fallen over for no apparent reason.

In the mean time, we are definitely chopping down more trees than we are planting. This is especially true with urban sprawl in the United States and farming in developing nations. For some reason, people in my region like to cut down trees just so they can have a flat, plain looking lawn. I guess it's the new trend. And nobody replaces their dead trees with new ones.

Sometimes I want the world not quite to end, but just shake things around a bit so everyone who doesn't appreciate nature and understand why it's so important either gets the point or never adapts.
