This is what they've done to East River Park in new York City; for the past several months-even going on a year-the city has told everybody not to worry about the 1000 trees they're killing-because they'll replace these 100-year-old trees with saplings. They expect the people to believe them, too.
This is why I've left the movement to Save East River Park; I was making signs only to have them ripped down, and yelling only to have my voice drowned out by bulldozers. It's depressing; I live only a few blocks from the once-majestic park, and I've pledged to never go there again.
And of these saplings all these 'green companies' are now planting to 'offset carbon', they're done so badly and so cheaply that the vast majority of them simply die within 6 months of being shot into the ground. But the green companies walk away with huge profits because they've planted trees. And nobody cares that the trees just die.
Supposedly my patch there in the photo is going to be replanted too, but, I doubt it will be. They'd have to put a deer fence up around it, and that's so expensive it probably eats away the potential profit. So, maybe in 20 years time there will be a rough covering of silver birch, maybe. I doubt it because the deer get in and they eat everything sprouting. It will probably still look much like it does today in 20 years time.
Well, in the Nature Bats Last (https://guymcpherson.com) blog, Guy McPherson has been saying for several years that our days are numbered-so numbered, in fact, that humans will be extinct in less than ten years. (And that was when he first started the blog.) So live it up!
Yeah even just 5 years ago I thought probably the worst societal collapse from climate change was still maybe 80-100 years off. But every year since then we've smashed through warning points that all the models said would still be decades away. So yeah, I agree, I think we maybe do only have 10 or 20 years left before the shit absolutely hits the fan.
