Climate Change: Why no tree planting only fossil fuel hating ?

All I know is the climate change thing steals energy from all the other environmental issues.

Can you elaborate on that? I don't understand what you mean about the climate change thing stealing energy from other environmental issues.

Your heart is in the right place, BUT--

"Global Warming" is a propaganda issue with little significance in The Real World.--You can easily look up the references (Roy Spencer-- UAH satellite data) to verify the following--

The over-all average temp of the planet has been occrrring at a rate of 0.13degC per decade (0.013deg per year) since the data has been collected (~40 yrs), BUT- the average for the tropical latitudes has hardly changed at all, that of the temperate zone by a few 1/10ths of a deg (at nite only) but the polar regions by 4-6degC (!)...The thing is, those polar regions have warmed from -45 to - 40degC-- still 40 deg below freezing (no effect on sea ice), AND- that's where essentially nothing lives anyway, so no impact on the biosphere.

As I said earlier, any significant warming (should it ever really occur) will merely shift the boundaries of the biomes, not eliminate them or even change the inner workings of them.

This used to be a warmer planet and turned colder. I hate debating climate change with pushers because they keep ignoring the planet’s history. We’ve experienced warmer and colder climates in the past without human interventions. Warmer planet doesn’t mean it’s all bad, people shouldn’t be living along the coastlines to begin with. At many points in earth’s history a lot of land were underwater and resurfaced, there’s nothing we can do about that.

Carbon emissions isn’t all bad, we need to plant more so the emissions can be converted to oxygen by plants. Planting good plants helps create more food for humans and animals.

The only problem I have with fossil fuel is that too much wasteful consumption.
