Asian Forests Victims of Intolerable ‘Green’ Lie

In the modern climate debate, emotion and partisan allegiance replace critical thinking to smear carbon dioxide (CO2) as a dangerous pollutant. Well-crafted green advocacies steal the spotlight, while reason languishes in the shadows of medieval-style witch hunts.
The reality, however, is seen in places like the dense tropical forests of Indonesia’s many verdant islands. Among them are Sulawesi, Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sumatra, green jewels in the Southeast Asian archipelago covered by extensive spreads of trees and other vegetation. Yet, they also tell us how a mad rush for “clean technologies” is destroying these ancient wonders of flora and fauna.
The biologically rich forests of these islands are beneficiaries of a long and stable period of global warmth, a climatic benevolence that began with the dawn of the Holocene epoch 11,700 years ago and the end of the last great advance of continental glaciers thousands of feet thick.
Today, sustaining this lush growth, are modestly higher temperatures and increasing atmospheric CO2 – the former the product of natural cycles and the latter the result mainly of industrial emissions of the gas. Both are conducive to the well-being of most living things.
