Ancient Trees (The sky is falling - Part 6ish)

In my global warming digging I came across the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.



They are collecting and planting the biggest and best trees in the world in order to try to expand their footprint. It's really cool.

I want to take this opportunity to make a differentiation between my skeptical stance on global warming and my overall perspective on what should be done with the environment. As a Christian we are called to be good stewards of what G-d has given us. Part of that is nature and our planet as a whole. I think it is very important that we put a strong focus on making the negative environmental impact of our necessary economic activity as small as possible. Additionally I think it is important to do things, like the tree archive, to restore nature to a healthy and robust level.

I believe our ability to conserve and restore the health of our planet's natural resources is critical to our ability to live happy, healthy, and prosperous lives.

A big reason why I am so concerned about the global warming debate is that a focus on greenhouse gasses, if misplaced, will have a very negative affect in distracting conservation funding and focus away from necessary and critical conservation efforts. If global warming is a concern though we do need to address it appropriately.

But for now, I am confident that big trees should get planted all over. I want a redwood in my back yard.
