Thanks, good work.. very informative!…

There are many possible measures less dramatic than chopping down the trees, like breeding the beetles in laboratory and gamma-ray irradiation of males with subsequent release into infested area. Chromosomes of spermatozoids became heavily damaged, so their progeny is infertile. That way the local population can be wiped out completely.

I think this must be what happened to liberals in the Bay Area. /g

I’ve been here 27 years and still barely make it to April. My daughter’s high school soccer game last night had a 3-4 minute snow squall pass through (CT!) Just New England’s way of making sure we don’t get too comfortable.

do you think we will actually get control of all those?
and thats just the worst insects… not all of them…

why are the people voting for change not liking change?

Constant change is the way it always is.. their desire to stop it, and make the halt of it appear as change is amazing…

the issue is change with concordance to the progress of the past, which moves us forward. or change without such, which is akin to random action, which does the opposite, resets the maching by shuffling the progress of the past back to nothing.

if you know big words, like suma cum laude, they think your a pervert since the word cum is in it.

on the thing with these beetles. i design new equipment. i am working in my job on the side creating medical solutiosn with the docs where i work. years ago i came up with a way to help with the beetle problem. i heard someone was going to work on something similar, and so i didnt bother. however, one can thread a piezo wire through areas of the tree that bend. this acts as both a power source and a sensor. the syste listens to the tree, and detects the chewing and drilling. it IS possible to hear the little critters chewing away. burst to wifi once in a while reporting status would allow the system to report a tree early on in infection.

gypsy moths turned out to be less of a problem than we thought. while they did a lot of damage, they werent causing the total denuement that we were warned of. i was in jersey at the time of the largest outbreaks, and it was awful. but few trees died… though the black ugly rings from painting sticky crap on it turned out to look worse.

in case no one has noticed, the response of the state to this multiplies the harm that this beetle causes. (lots of creatures we do nothing about eat out trunks of trees. carpenter ants, termites, etc). however, find a hole in a tree large enough, and the humans in conjunction with the beetle will cut it down!!! would a single beetle be able to do that to a tree on its own?

in the effort to eradicate the ineradicatable, they are denuding the area of what trees we have wholesale.

what they want is to preserve everything statically!!!

under normal circumstances, these beetles would denude the trees, the trees would die, the beetles would die, and the trees would come back in 500 years. how do you think they survived the past 300 million?

its just that we dont like not having them around for a while…

the way they look at this is a clear peek into the fact that these people are the opposite of visionaries (pretending their nearsighted shortsigtedness is visionary).

but take polution… within 100 years, the easiest place to mine for raw materials will be a garbage dump!!! we are already developing technology to do that as part of the reclamation effort, since reclamed metal is cheaper than mining ore.

we are so worried about scarring an earth that wont rememver us past a 100k years, let alone geoogical time… meanwhile, we have whole planets to play with!!! we have already contaminated mars. some day, we will make things that pollute horribly in space… and vent the stuff as molecular gas to be swept away by the solar wind… (of course they will claim that we are littering the universe!)

invasive species are a problem… why? because the conservatives want to progress slowly, and the marxists are mega conservatives who are so much against change, that such things scare the pants off of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think about it. a central planned economy cant afford random acts of God! so all their efforts are to stagnate us, and theoretically in a confucian way, create a means to a command economy. think logans run… fixed population, fixed use of materials… we know what we need because over time, we learn what we need… however for such to work (And why i call it confucian), is that the whole place has to stagnate and fixate to one fixed stasis… no new anything. social justice means if you invent a cure for diabedes, or a way to get rid of this bug, we are not allowed to make it since we incure a huge social justice cost for not being able to provide it to everyone equally! so right there is the mechanism to stop new inventiosn from coming into the pipeline.. the greenies are trying to command nature to stop darwin… the people are being homogenized through screwing their birth selections (indiscriminate births built on physical attraction will homogenize us back to somethign like horses, rather than individuals like we are now). no new energy… limiting the source of the move and ability to progress (no energy, no progress, too little energy, we regress back as we cant maintain things).

their goals are contradictory… since a one world government would create even more of this kind of CHANGE…
