RE: The Storm in Northern Italy - Aftermath
Glad you are all fine and the road is reopened. We've been having big plow winds blowing thousands of trees down flat close to where we live. I had lived here for over 25 years and had never heard of them before but now it seems to be hitting different areas around us almost yearly! One was real close - the next road over that went through my neighbors yard, she watched it through her window, luckily it took a turn before it hit the house. They seem to pick up speed in open areas and there has been more and more deforestation happening in this area. Auh! When will we ever learn that forests are more valuable standing then clear cut for lumber or burnt and slashed for farming!
Yes I don't know. History has seen civilisation after civilisation collapse because of deforestation. And I think you are right that the storms become more violent due to wider open areas with less trees. I think almost all ecological problems can be traced back to deforestation. Forests are life! I wonder if this civilisation will understand before it's too late..
Unfortunately in this part of the world - the boreal region of Canada it has gotten worse. It's all about the money but the money will be of no avail when our ecosystems are destroyed.
