I dont think they have been replanting for centuries. Probably a modern fad since the 90s.

Here is a more recent map; not the anon who mentioned that the US having more forest cover than 500 years ago, but it should be pointed out that the US had more significant forest cover in 1620 than 1520; native americans had burned down a bunch of trees, and after they got btfo by old world diseases a lot of the forest cover had returned to north american by the time Europeans started to heavily settle in the 1600s.

The world will never run out of trees, since humans need wood to build shit.

That's actually a bad thing. For the most part old growth forests are the most important forms of ecosystem. All the forests now are new growth which gets chopped down and replanted every decade, animals hate the planted forests because there's nowhere to hide among other things. Old growth forests are more important than the total forest area.

Brainlet here, couldn't we just turn the whole world into like a greenhouse? Like if we could find some sort of fluid that creates a 'greenhouse effect' if you will. Melt Siberia and reforest the Sahara with higher temperatures, more rainfall and a higher concentration of C02 for the flora to flourish, at the same time as drowning out some of the fauna that's in perpetual unsustainable growth and that likes to cut down trees? What if we were to actually let 'nature' correct itself as it always does rather than continuously sabotaging it?
Or is that too science-fictiony?

The green new deal uses “biomass” for energy. Now that goal and nuclear are being restricted, you need more trees chopped to provide energy (10BTU).
Do you understand? Animals, birds, bees, all are dying because you want power and you don’t want coal (75BTU) or nuclear (35,000BTU) to boil the water to turn the turbine.
