One should not forget the corrupt insurance companies which demanded the removal of many town and city trees because their obscene profits did not match the demands of their gambling, overnight shareholders and bonus-hungry directors.
One should not forget the removal of the forests to feed the insatiable greed of dictators and juntas. One should not forget that China and Japan were the customers for much of this illegal logging. Many green activists fought for years against corrupt American politicians who allowed clear felling of native forests in exchange for fat backhanders.
Global warming is not about a damaged earth. It is about a broken system of human hierarchy without a shred of negative feedback. One man, George "Burning" Bush Jnr held back global climate change discussion with a mixture of blatant lies and backward superstition purely for the personal profit of a few cronies.
Politics is a badly broken feedback system. Just as is denial of the democratic rights of ordinary citizens to alter the pre-arranged, no change, back room con tricks of the Copenhagen conference.
The rich and famous and the politicians will always be protected from discomfort while the majority struggle against the reality and expense of living with climate change. When your electricity bills soar theirs will be paid by your crippling taxes. When you have to move at your own expense they will move to somewhere more comfortable entirely at your expense. When your meagre savings are depleted by ever increasing green taxes theirs will be safe offshore or invested in property. While you give up all of your waking hours to work they will begin a round of public talks. Where they earn more in 20 minutes than you do in a decade of toil and trying to make ends meet.
Are the stately homes of England wooded? Or does the National Trust maintain vast poisoned, grass deserts just like the countless golf courses? Does your wealthy, local landowner/industrially intensive farmer receive millions a year to clear the hedges, wildlife corridors and copses to increase his EU subsidised land area? Or does he maintain a few landscape trees in wet or steep areas, incapable of intensive cultivation? Just to give his wealthy, "sporting" clients somewhere to take easy pot shots at point blank range at grossly overfed pheasants which can barely get off the ground?
Our world is broken through a lack of negative feedback for our self-appointed masters. Do you suppose the fat cats at the world's many Westminsters give a monkey's about AGW? Do you suppose any of the EU subsidised meat and dairy factories care a caged pig or calf about anything but the bottom line? Do you suppose the billionaire supermarket owners give a teenage check out girl about green issues as they cover thousands of square miles globally with tarmac for their car parks? Do your think they care about green issues at MacLardy's as they clear fell forests for cattle grazing land run by local slaves?
And you are worried about a few roots damaging the verges? Have you seen the damage caused by 12 wheeler EU lorries bringing in Chinese, slave-produced products? Trees don't make life intolerable for millions unfortunate to live anywhere near a motorway, main road or lethal rat run. You have no control over the fat cats because they ensure it stays that way. With their security forces and their eaves dropping entirely at your expense. But you can plant a tree. They haven't made that illegal. Or taxed it. At least, not yet. |
