  1. I noticed my first ghost forests outside of Lewes, DE back in the 90s and every time I go back its worse.

  2. These are the people that built the entire shoreline, complaining about climate change

  3. Another problem, you can't just replace Trees with other Trees, it has to be the Trees that were in the orginal ecosystem.

  4. We need to pay more taxes so the government will change the weather.

  5. This week we will see them demand an end to fossil fuel use, an end to farming, an end to beef production… CC is not a hoax. CC is the EXUSE being used to grab power and money from those who don't stay informed.

  6. Finally the world is waking up to Climate Change! Thanks to the reaction to the virus 3 years ago, now people all around the world are beginning to recognize a power grab when they see one.

  7. Climate change is a lie. It is one of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated on mankind. There is absolutely no proof of global warming, but there are abundant lies perpetrating the myth. Read the Bible, in it God tells us that; Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease." It is also futile for us to be obsessed with and try to "sustain" the earth, or "save" the planet, because God also tells us in the Bible that He is going to destroy the current heavens and earth and create pristine new ones for all people who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Bible and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior Who died to pay for their sins for them and resurrected from the dead to defeat eternal death for them, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God. (Heaven)

    So, respect and enjoy this beautiful temporary home God has given us, but stop obsessing about the global warming, climate change lie!

    We all must remember that this is our temporary home separated from God for a short period of time because of sin, but all people who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior Who died to pay for our sins for us and resurrected from the dead to defeat eternal death for us, will be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life reconciled with God in heaven.

    Read the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

    THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR –

    Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation and He dwelt among us for over three decades and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to all people from all nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior Who died to pay for their sins for them and resurrected from the dead to defeat eternal death for them, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

  8. I grew up in South Jersey in the 50's and 60's. The destruction of the natural ecosystems there was (and is) NOT caused by climate change. The evil ideology of gangster capitalism fosters the mindless greed that caused the destruction you see here, and it will not stop until we find another way to organize our society.

  9. Our federal government just gave grant money to plant trees in a few counties. All the places that all ready have trees and money.
    That’s the way it works.
    While the places that NEED TREES, will stay dead and neglected.
    It takes some preparation time and energy to get an area ready for planting even. Those “grant trees” get planted by the tens of thousands, and ninety percent DIE. The planting companies don’t care, because it’s not actually about the trees surviving. It’s all about the money in the bank.

  10. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

  11. Did the sea level rise or the land subside? I suggest the latter as water is removed from the aquifer below.

  12. FREAKING IDIOTS ECO SYSTEMS CHANGE OVER TIME EVEN HAPPENS WHEN BEAVERS DAM THE WATER. ANY EXCUSE TO USE TO SCARE PEOPLE.

  13. climate change organization in my book are dangerous legalized terrorists.

  14. Don't worry kids, there's no such thing as ghost forests.

  15. COP throws academics under a bus

    1986 and Ukrainian nuclear experience is the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The predictable consequence are trying to do nuclear fission from uranium:

  16. ok now show all the housing developments where trees used to stand…..lol

  17. Climate change is a lie and we are sick of it

  18. let not forget about the hills in nyc. plus trees are only good in numbers. so when you over use early then just say it Climate change

  19. Most educated meteorologists on the planet cannot accurately predict the weather 5 degrees 1 week from now. What makes all these alarmists think they can predict a 3 degree change in ten years?

  20. It's a natural thing people, read your history.

  21. This is a natural occurrence. We are aggravated because its inconvenient. Sorry Charlie

  22. Peat is EVIL and should be banned from all garden suppliers. Peat should be dug up and converted to bio-char as a regular seasonal land management program. Wherever peat get the upper hand it creates peatbogs and peat barrens.
    To dry the soil, spot some water-hungry Willow species in every acre's boggiest points.
    To desalinate the water, scatter-plant Saliconia species among the trees.
    Diversify. Those cedar stands are NOT a healthy "ecosystem". They are mono-crop deserts created by lumbermen. The lack of diversity is a key diagnostic marker
