Mass Die-Off Of Forests Happening Globally And Accelerating Death Rate Of Trees Is Increasing

by Dr. Good Heart
A Green Road Journal

This article documents the mass die off of forests all around the world. If trees were another alien species and human kind was a visitor from another planet, what humanity is doing to the trees of the world would be considered a crime of genocide. The levels of loss are so overwhelming that there is no way for humanity to continue on the present course and still have a habitable planet.
More than 100 climate denying organizations which are funded by the carbon monopoly, claim that all green living things are benefiting from the increased CO2 levels, through the ‘hormesis effect’ of more CO2, but scientific studies are showing that exactly the opposite is the actual, real life case. Pro nuclear, pro hormesis apologist organizations are claiming the same thing for radiation. These pro hormesis, pro nuclear industry promoters claim that more radiation is good for all living things, despite them all being heavy metal radioactive poisons.
Green things grow faster with increased CO2, but the damage caused by increasing acid (CO2 is acid), which then creates more acid oceans, acid rain, acid soils, plus global warming and the resulting climate changes is not only cancelling out this ‘benefit’, but it is resulting in increased harm to forests, at an accelerating rate. This article documents the mass die off of forests all around the world, due to such factors as increasing temperatures, increased CO2, increased ozone levels, pollutants, droughts, desertification, radiation, and more.

HOW MANY TREES ARE THERE IN THE WORLD AND HOW MANY ARE BEING LOST?

The planet is losing a massive number of trees globally per year out of the trillions that existed originally on Earth. Of course all of these trees are radiation contaminated and weakened due to the emissions of things like radioactive carbon from nuclear fission facilities.

5 BILLION TREES BEING LOST EACH YEAR GLOBALLY

Sickputer September 6, 2015 the world tree losses each year…15 billion trees lost, 5 billion replanted, total yearly loss 10 billion trees. In 300 years all the trees will be gone. Unless naked apes stop cutting them down…or more likely naked apes become extinct from radiation and wars and then the tree count will zoom. Trees handle radiation better than humans, but they may be some gnarly looking trees in 2500 AD.

Over the past 10 years, the death of forest trees due to drought and increased temperatures has been documented on all continents except Antarctica. This can in turn drive global warming by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by trees and by releasing carbon locked up in their wood.

MASS DIE OFF OF FORESTS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE GLOBE

 

Huge swathes of trees are dying around the world.  Anja Taylor investigates the cause of the mass devastation all around the world.  As seen on Catalyst, ABC TV Australia, 26 Apr 2012. Global warming is blamed for all of these mass die offs of trees all around the world, but there is more to this story than just hotter weather and drought.

DYING FORESTS IN THE SIERRAS; THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME, FORESTS ARE THINNING OUT AND DISAPPEARING, BUT IS NOW ACCELERATING FAST

This process of many pine and other trees dying in the Sierras has been happening for many years, and is not limited to drought years. Many people have theories about what is causing the mass die off of trees on both the West and East side of the Sierras. The guesses and theories range from global warming, to acid rain, chemtrails, pollution from cities, and increased ozone levels. Maybe it is all of these and more.. The most important part to understand is that the slow, gradual strangulation of trees is largely invisible, because the Forest Service hires foresters to go in and ‘take out’ the dead and dying trees. When someone flies over the forest, all that they see is a thinner, sicker, weaker forest, year by year, by year.
This is what it looks like before the thinning process where the tree cutters come in and take them out to make everything look ‘ok’ again….But then the trees don’t come back and the forest canopy gets thinner and thinner. Like an older person who is balding, forests are going the same way, they are disappearing.

2010 – What’s Killing the Great Forests of the American West?
Across western North America, huge tracts of forest are dying off at an extraordinary rate, mostly because of outbreaks of insects. Scientists are now seeing such forest die-offs around the world and are linking them to changes in climate.
2015 – A new study by the U.S. Forest Service tried to assess the scope of the problem. Researchers estimated that the drought has killed off at least 12.5 million trees in California’s national forests during the drought. The scientists expect the die-off to continue. “It is almost certain that millions more trees will die over the course of the upcoming summer as the drought situation continues and becomes ever more long term,” said biologist Jeffrey Moore, acting regional aerial survey program manager for the U.S. Forest Service

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-trees-dying-california-drought-20150505-story.html

For fifteen years now I have watched the once grand and green forest canopy of these incomparable mountains whither into naked twisted matchsticks. What began slowly, barely noticeable, turned into all encompassing devastation in the last five years. Like collapsed tinker toys all akimbo, an eeriy scene right out of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, “The Road”. Everything is dying. Humongous douglas fir, ponderosa pine, blue spruce, aspen, and down lower even juniper and pinyon. No longer just a tree here and there, but rather entire forests are utterly dead. You climb up to Wolf Creek Pass over 11,000′ high, the finest and greatest powder snow in the lower 48, and glass the landscape for 360 degrees, and you will not find one living tree. Millions upon millions of dead trees as far as the eye can see. You can drive for a hundred miles north to Gunnison and all you will see are dead forests, 100% dead.

Ozone is invisible but highly toxic air pollution. As the background level increases, trees that absorb it are poisoned and become more susceptible to insects, disease and fungus. Epidemic attacks are causing forests to decline around the world. More info at WarOnTrees.blogspot.com

RADIATION IS ALSO DEVASTATING FORESTS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD, COMBINED WITH DROUGHT, CO2, ACID RAIN AND POLLUTANTS SUCH AS OZONE

Radiation is invisible, but deadly. Few people are aware of the toxic effect that invisible radioactive carbon and other emissions from nuclear plants have on trees and all other living things as well. This negative effect has been studied and documented scientifically.

PATHWAYS OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION LEAD FROM EVERY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AND EVERY NUCLEAR ACCIDENT, DIRECTLY INTO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, INCLUDING TREES

What are main ways that radionuclides can enter into the food chain?
There are three main pathways for radioactive substances to enter the food chain (See Fig. 1):
– Radioactive material carried by the wind (airborne), by water current (waterborne) and through soil or sediments.
– Radionuclides in air can be deposited on plants.
– Radionuclides in water bodies can also affect aquatic plants and animals in a similar way.
Questions & Answers – Nuclear Emergency Response for Food and Agriculture The relative importance of these contamination pathways depends on various factors. These factors include:
– The nature of the nuclear or radiological emergency.
– The physical and chemical properties of the released radionuclides.
– The time lapsed after the deposition.
– The ability of the plant and animals to accumulate radionuclides.
– The stage of the plant at which the emergency occurs (the time of the year).
– The land use.
– The agricultural practises.

*** The main danger is plutonium. This is comparable to WIPP… anyone, even across the Northern Hemisphere, in the path of the smoke plume, might be exposed to similar doses. ***
The potential danger in this fire comes from the radioactive contaminants the burning plants have absorbed, ecologist Christopher Busby told RT.
“Some of the materials that were contaminating that area would have been incorporated into the woods. In other words, they land on the ground in 1986 and they get absorbed into the trees and all the biosphere. And when it burns, they just become re-suspended. It’s like Chernobyl all over again.” Busby is the scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risks.
Numerous other experts in the field share these concerns. Randall Thompson warns: “If it rains on that cloud of smoke… once it gets inside you in any way – nose, mouth, hands, through your orifices – then you are being radiated.” Thompson participated in the cleanup of the 1979 Three Mile Island Incident in Pennsylvania – a partial nuclear meltdown at a nuclear reactor, the worst such accident in US power plant history.

AS MORE NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, LARGER AREAS BECOME RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED AND TREES BECOME DAMAGED, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND GENETICALLY

As more and more nuclear accidents happen, very large forested areas become radioactive. Trees become radioactive, as does the pollen that can contain 253,000 Bq/kg of Cesium radiation and pine needles that can contain 177,000 Bq/kg. How long can the trees absorb the punishment that this kind of internal radiation dishes out without catastrophic consequences in the long term?

HOW RADIATION IS TRANSFERRED TO PLANTS, INCORPORATED INTO LEAVES

Radiation damage is recorded in trees, just like it is able to be seen and monitored in insects, birds, sea life and humans.

Via R-NOX “How can radioactive materials (radionuclides) enter plant products during the early stage of the nuclear emergency?
– Following radioactive release to the atmosphere, the deposition of radionuclides on vegetation, soil or surface of water represents the starting point of their transfer in food chains. There are two principal deposition processes for the removal of radionuclides from the atmosphere: dry deposition is the direct transfer to and absorption of gases and particles by natural surfaces such as vegetation, whereas wet deposition is the transport of a substance from the atmosphere to the ground in snow, hail or rain.
– Once deposited on vegetation, radionuclides are lost from plants due to removal by wind and rain and through leaching. The increase of biomass of plants during growth does not cause a loss of activity, but it does lead to a decrease of activity concentration due to effective dilution. There is also systemic transport (translocation) of radionuclides in plants, leading to the redistribution of a substance from the surface where it was deposited to the other parts of the plant that were not contaminated directly (for instance root beets or tubers). The surface of plant may be contaminated through resuspension: This occurs when the wind exerts a force that redistributes particles to the surface plants. Radionuclides in soil can also be taken up by plants (Figure 2).
– Contamination of plants may also occur via contaminated surface water (inundation, irrigation) or contaminated ground water (upwelling, irrigation) whilst contamination of animals may occur because of consumption of contaminated water.”

The result of burning carbon based fossil fuels, cutting down forests and increased desertification is a rise in the global CO2 levels, leading to global warming, despite a reduction in the solar energy coming in. Normally, the Earth would be entering an Ice Age right now, but instead, it is accelerating into unknown hotter territory, due to the insulating blanket of many global warming gases that are building up..

ORWELL POETRY

or-well
June 26, 2015 

I like this poem by someone named Sidhe.

“Disorderly Conduct” by Sidhe

A message to all of you short-sighted killers
What kind of world will you leave behind for your children
When you’ve squeezed every last drop of life from the land
With your greed and your murder you’ve wrought with your plans

I’d like to remind you your money means nothing
When the water’s been blackened and the creatures are starving
You toy with a force you do not understand
Your chemicals won’t wash all that blood off your hands

First Nations fight cancer up in Athabasca
Your oil trains are time bombs impending disaster
Your pipelines will leak and your cesspools will sprawl
And your babies are left with the brunt of it all

What of the animals caught in the tar?
What of the forests left clear cut and scarred?
What of those atrocities I didn’t witness?
Like Serafino in Columbia sending assassins
To murder union organizers who stood up and spoke out
In the back of my mind I can still hear them shout
I am made of this land you are made of the same
The planet is dying and you are to blame

Are you proud of yourselves? Look at what you’ve become
Heartless machines, so frigid and numb
So reluctant to think that you may just be wrong
That you hear the dissent and you send in the guns.

If trees could talk to us, what would they say about wholesale clear cutting and destruction of the Earth’s lungs?

INDIAN PROPHECY

“When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”
– Cree Prophecy

SUMMARY

There is not a lot of time left.

The solution is to close all nuclear  and carbon fuel burning plants globally, and switch to carbon free fuels. A nuclear and carbon free future can turn things around, but these changes have to happen quickly. Is humanity ready for massive and quick changes towards a nuclear and carbon free future? Time will tell. The solutions are all there, ready and waiting for us.

There is still hope, but huge global carbon and nuclear energy monopolies are standing in the way, due to their myopic focus on short term profits. Their greed may doom the planet and all living things on it. Starting a massive global tree planting program also needs to be started, especially in areas where desertification is expanding. Certain kinds of trees will grow even in desert areas.
