Thanks once again, Chris. It's so important that someone is taking the time to try to preserve the factual record when so many corporations, NGOs -- and scientists -- are working overtime to try to make us forget it.
Well done, Chris! When the first Crowther paper came out in Science, I was taken aback because their map showed “reforestation” of places that were never forested. The paper shows the Bluegrass of Kentucky as an area for aggressive “reforestation.” As I showed in my book Venerable Trees, the long-term structure of the Bluegrass was woodland pasture - open pasture with clusters of ancient trees that was never forested. I just assumed then that the rest of the paper was sloppy. And the subsequent tree planting obsession was really wrong-headed. I don’t trust anything from that lab.

Great research, Chris, thank you! NBS is getting to be a really tiring bit of nonsense, yes, another diversion from actually cutting emissions.
