By this time, you know I'm sick of the agenda-pushing insults, right?

"Loggers adapt to changing industry amid recession; More motivated by environment" by William Yardley, New York Times | March 29, 2009

LOWELL, Ore. - .... Mills keep closing. People keep leaving.... Yet in parts of the region, the decline is being met by an unlikely optimism. Some people who have long fought to clear-cut the region's verdant slopes are trying to reposition themselves for a more environmentally friendly economy, motivated by changing political interests, the federal stimulus package, and sheer desperation.

Some mills that once sought the oldest, tallest evergreens are now producing alternative energy from wood byproducts like bark or brush. Unemployed loggers are looking for work thinning federal forests, a task for which the stimulus package devotes $500 million; the goal is to make forests more resistant to wildfires and disease.

Probably should have been doing this a long time ago, but better late than never.

Some local officials are betting there is revenue in a forest resource that few appreciated before: the ability of trees to absorb carbon dioxide, which can contribute to global warming.

They never stop pushing the agenda, do they?

Pragmatism drives the shifting thinking, but a critical question remains: Can people really make a long-term living off the forest without cutting it down?

(Sigh, pffft, sigh)

The certification process, supervised by the American Tree Farm System, requires Jones to manage and replant his land under the supervision of a professional forester. It is intended in part to give small tree farmers some credibility within the sustainable forestry movement, which promotes forest health, and to help them market their product as "green lumber."

It's ALL AGENDA-PUSHING, GLOBALIST SHIT, readers!!

If it APPEARS in the PAPER, even if it SOUNDS GOOD, it is ALWAYS some LYING, DISTORTED, AGENDA-PUSHING PIECE of BULLSHIT and why I NO LONGER believe or have faith in NEWSPAPERS!!!!!!!!

******************

Restrictions on logging have prompted entrepreneurial thinking about the forest for years, but efforts have increased as states like Oregon and Washington have emphasized renewable energy and jobs that support it.

Oh, I'm ALL FOR THAT -- as long as it is DECENTRALIZED and LOCAL, not some GLOBALIST FART PUSH!!!!!!

In turn, the plummeting housing market has forced some timber companies to try to diversify - and even collaborate with environmentalists to protect forests from wildfires, disease, and development.

Now I REALLY DON'T TRUST THEM!!!!!!

Now Lane County commissioners are asking the Legislature to draft a resolution urging Congress to pay counties that have large amounts of federal forest land for the carbon that their forests trap. Such a plan would depend on Congress developing a system for buying and selling so-called carbon offsets.

Oh my God!

You are getting FUCKED EIGHT WAYS from SUNDAY, American taxpayers!!!!!

See: Obama's Face Fart

Obama Breaks Wind Over Environmentalists

Not everyone likes the idea....

Yeah, I'LL BET!!!!!!!

Forest economists say government spending, beginning with the stimulus package but also extending to any program to buy and sell carbon offsets, will be necessary to build a new economy in the rural Northwest.

And WE KNOW JUST WHAT they are trying to do, don't we?

"Gore said the single most important policy change would be placing a carbon tax on burning oil and coal."

Yup, CREATE a MARKET out of THIN AIR so they can BROKER IT and GAIN COMMISSIONS!!!

JUST as the BLOGGERS have been saying for SO LONG!!!!!

Some supporters of sustainable forestry are concerned that, despite assurances by the Forest Service, the stimulus package will create only short-term jobs in the woods and miss the chance to invest in a complete "waste chain," in which small timber and brush from thinning projects are put to use for lumber, biomass fuel and other purposes, potentially strengthening rural economies on many levels.

So when does the JETTING and LIMOING stop?

When are the NASCAR and SPORTS PROTESTS?

--more--"

Yeah, that's what I thought!!!!

And I found this next piece of population-control, agenda-pushing garbage offensive. You know, like the tampon ads you see on tv from time to time.

Think about it.

.... For many Americans, the recession is affecting their most intimate decisions about sex and family planning. Doctors and clinics are reporting that many women are choosing abortions and men are having vasectomies because they cannot afford a child.

Another growth industry for murderous Jew doctors!!!

Planned Parenthood of Illinois clinics performed an all-time high number of abortions in January, many of them motivated by the women's economic worries, said Steve Trombley, chief executive officer, who declined to give exact numbers....

What, they want more funding?

Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, said her organization's helpline is receiving many calls from women who postponed an abortion while trying to raise money to pay for it. Such delays often mean riskier abortions at even higher cost; the price can double in the second trimester....

How come we don't love our women and girls, AmeriKa?
