TREE CHOPPING
A handful of research groups and start-ups are now exploring the potential to “lock up carbon” in wood by burying/storing tree remains in the ground to “slow down decomposition”.
Kodama Systems, a forest management company based in the U.S, says it’s developing “automated ways of thinning out overcrowded forests”, that will ultimately ‘help the battle against climate change’.
Why are they calling for this? Well, trees are naturally efficient at sucking down vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the air — and they also release the carbon again when they die.
As such, the mad green lobby now says that “sequestering trees underground” could “prevent this”.
If this “biomass burial” works, they say, it may “…provide a relatively cheap and easy way to pull down some share of the billions of tons of greenhouse gas needed to avoid disaster”.
According to their strategy, by “stripping off the limbs from trees too small to be sold for timber”, they’ll load them into trucks and ship them to a prepared pit for burial.
And there is one very familiar face backing this new initiative.
Upon closer investigation, it can be shown that the company has raised around $6.6 million from Bill Gates’s climate fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures, as well as other investors.
In addition, a $250,000 research grant has been given to the company and its research partner, the Yale Carbon Containment Lab, as part of a broader carbon removal announcement.
That grant will “support a pilot effort to bury waste biomass harvested from California forests in the Nevada desert” and study how well it “prevents the release of greenhouse gases”.
California forests? Interesting.
The company has also agreed to purchase about 415 tons of carbon dioxide for another $250,000, if this proof-of-concept project achieves certain benchmarks.
The announcement comes as multiple groups look at ‘innovative’ methods of ‘carbon storage’.
In Australia, the company InterEarth believes that allowing trees to ‘soak up salty groundwater’ before burying them will effectively “pickle” the wood, ‘preserving it for extended periods’.
One again running around in hopes of altering the earth on the premise of a lie, these organisations once again completely ignore the real environmental impacts their ideology and actions will have.
WE NEED DEAD TREES
Just because a tree is ‘dead’, does not mean it isn’t useful and needed.
The biggest concern with this plan, among many, is the disregard for the importance of habitat.
Hollows in dead trees can provide important nesting and roosting sites for native fauna.
For example, Glossy Black-Cockatoos often nest in hollows in dead eucalypts on Kangaroo Island. A dead tree with a rotten butt has the potential to expose suitable hollows once smaller branches have dropped.
In Australia, clearance of a dead tree that is defined and protected as ‘native vegetation’ may only occur through an appropriate exemption under a Regulation or by application to the NVC for approval.
Furthermore, while dead trees may not be the most attractive part of a forest, they are essential to its health. As dead wood is decomposed (by fungi, bacteria and other life forms), it aids new plant growth by returning important nutrients to the ecosystem.
And those seemingly ‘dead trees’ are actually teeming with life!
Logs (dead trees on the ground) and snags (standing dead trees) play a vital role in the lifecycles of hundreds of species of wildlife, providing a place to nest, rest, eat and grow.
A few examples you may have seen:
- Some eagles, hawks and owls use snags or dead branches to get a clear view of potential prey when hunting. Similarly, certain birds that engage in flycatching (catching flying insects directly out of the air) will use these perches to launch their aerial attacks.
- Snakes use logs to sun themselves in summer to help regulate their internal temperature. Logs also provide snakes with a place to hide, find a meal or (for some) hibernate for the winter.
- Many woodpeckers nest in cavities excavated in snags (or dead parts of living trees) while using those same dead trees to drill for food.
- Some mammals — including tree squirrels, opossums and raccoons — use dead trees for nesting.
- Salamanders use rotting logs or stumps as both shelter and a source of food.
- Many species of fungi grow only on dead wood, breaking it down and returning important nutrients to the soil.
Trees are a vital part of life here in this realm, and Bill Gates looks to put his fingerprints once again all over the fundamental elements that we need for survival.
First it was technology, then it was food, then it was disease and health, and now it’s the environment.
Do you support this new Gates-funded initiative?

Yes we generally call them dead trees,.. BUT anyone that walks through our magnificent forests, National Parks can see and admire the LIFE on these trees,.. we cannot just bury these treasures,, just more false “science” from people that have their own agenda….. and believe they can do better than mother nature has since the beginning of time and will continue, as long as humans with ulterior motive stop interfering.
Insanity knows no bounds.
Anything Billy Boy is involved in cannot be good. The way they are burning the forests there will be none left to harvest.I find it hard to believe all these fires lately are natural as in nature has caused them to start.
Can WE not JustLy chop ‘Wild Bill’ Down, Bury Him on ANY OF his 270,000 Acre Ranch – to save HIS ‘Inputs’ TO, the planet? I’m willing to pitch in, and dig the hole as deep as Possible – FOR FREE! – I can’t be more CONmitted to ‘Saving the Planet’ than that – O.K., I’LL PAY!! AND, anyone WOULDN’T want an ArseHole as big as Bill – Resurfacing = There’s enough Little Pricks around now! Bill, being SOOO keen, could keep a watchful eye on those Trees, AND, IF you buried him in the Middle, you wouldn’t need the expense of an elaBorat-e Timber Coffin = HOORAH! – What time do you want Me to show up??
Last; We need dead trees. – YEP! Right up to the Moment, that the members of ‘Call Another Land Manager’, roll up & prescribe burn the forest coup – to the ground ( except larger flora)= “To Lower ‘Fuel Loads’, So that it doesn’t ‘Çatch fire’!” Of course CALM, HAS sent a text/ email/ brochure( maybe good old Carrier pigeon, in case the NoBloodyNetwork is ‘Offline’), to ALL of the Forest critters, ‘Notifying’ them, of the upcoming ‘E Vents’ & Pyro Soiree! – LOL.

Yay! And the Yale crowd could bury some calcium along with carbon…in the form of their satanic Skull & Bones.
