Coral bleaching seems too actually be a sign of prosperity, not suffering.
Bleaching happens when the symbiosis breaks down due to elevated temps. That is due to suffering and causes suffering.
It changes the composition of the forests to make them more flammable.
I guess ecologists aren’t scientists?
Wildland fire ecologist Bob Gray said leafy deciduous trees, like aspen, are more resilient to wildfires than softwood conifers like pine and spruce.
"Softwoods are highly resinous," he said.
"The foliage and bark is highly flammable. When you've got large contiguous areas of conifer forest, you can have large continuous forest fires."
Doesn't pass basic sniff test.
Multiple ecologists agree on the difference in flame resistance between tree types.
I am saying glyphosate impacts fires and you are saying it doesn’t. The evidence shows that it does impact even if small. That is my point. When the scientific study that no one is going to fund comes out in 10 years showing this, it’ll be too late.
This passes a basic sniff test if you use your brain to think through the chain of events.
The composition of the forests changes in managed stands yes. But these are not most stands. And if the hardwoods are removed mechanically or with herbicide the change occurs.
The real reason most out of control wildfires occur is because of too much fuel buildup. Poor management. Not letting smaller fires burn.
That Glyphosate is used on a small fraction of forested land to kill hardwoods doesn't mean "Glyposate is causing forest fires!"
How? How does this work?
>Bleaching happens when the symbiosis breaks down due to elevated temps.
The first part is correct, the second is unknown. In 2016, 84% of corals bleached, the highest number. Did global warming peak in 2016?
I admit, saying "prosperity" was provocative. It's probably not a sign of prosperity. But what exactly it is a sign of, we have little idea.
It changes the composition of the forest to make it more flammable.
I don’t understand your coral comment. The coral expels the algae because the temp causes it to expel harmful toxins. There are other triggers besides heat.
Only 30% of the forests are primeval, and those 30% are not in Europe.
Forests are not "natural" for thousands of years.
>There are other triggers besides heat.
The amount of studies (or corals and algae) seems to be insufficient. I clearly remember the alarmist wave of the 2016, which turned out to be, well, not entirely unjustified, but clearly exaggerated.
Yes so maybe you should fund a coral study so that you can then know the truth that anyone who looks at this stuff knows.
