Scientists new plan to save the world by chopping down boreal forest and tossing it in the Arctic Ocean

The latest plan to get better weather in a hundred years, is to cut down trees and dump them in the ocean.
The great northern boreal forest has expanded by 12% since 1984. Which means it has locked up all this extra carbon in it. Instead of waiting for it to catch fire and burn, the thinking is that we could cut it down now, and throw the logs in a river that leads to the Arctic ocean where they will sink (eventually, maybe) and take carbon to the sea floor.

New Scientist thought this was a good idea. Future anthropologists may file modern eco-science with arsenic cures, and radium toothpaste.

In order to save the environment, we need to cut down 180,000 square kilometers of forest and toss it into the river (every year).

How many trees do we have to kill to stop a cyclone in 2100AD?

Manage the forests better so they don't burn so frequently and so disastrously.

Sure, the science twits will sequester carbon stored inside trees at the bottom of the ocean, but what will replace the lost capacity to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Trees at the bottom of the ocean cannot sequester current and future carbon from the atmosphere.

I suspect they'll solve that issue with some expensive, complex, unproven, timely process.

The Periodic Table of Elements is not the greatest enemy to human survival.  The greatest enemy to human survival is the hubris of our elite, credentialed ignoramuses.

Let grazing animals scour forest floors to remove kindling.  Let beavers build damns to increase soil moisture levels.  Harvest trees to build more housing, and plant more to replace them.

Our forests don't have to burn.  $h!thead government officials and policies make them more susceptible to large fires.

Plus, what are those poindexters going to do about volcanoes?  Melting permafrost?  John F'ing  Kerry's flatulence and exhaled carbon dioxide?

Make progress, not perfection.  A little something is still more than a whole lot of nothing.

Then y'all wonder why I have such a low opinion of 'science'.

Science is like a gun. It's okay in the right hands.

If these idiots believe what they are saying, give them each a dull axe, a dull knife, a pot to cook in and some matches, and send them out there to get the job done.

Only an advanced college degree can make people this stupid.

The Boreal forest is perhaps the largest ecosystem on the planet, and is about 1/3 of all forest land and covers almost 20% of the planet.

SAVE the world.
Save it...
Save the world by mowing down the Boreal forest? It is ludicrous on its face.

The paper these fellers have hanging on the wall is only good for use in the outhouse.
