To read of Green/left activists celebrating as bushfire destroyed the Eden Woodchip Mill tells you everything about their mentality.
Firstly, it’s their self-centred selfishness. The 70 people that worked in the mill and another 600 in local forestry industry are all without a job. The economic effects throughout all businesses in the local town will be devastating, causing great hardship. Yet the green activists celebrate.
Secondly, it’s their ignorance. It’s likely that most of these green/left activists are reliant upon money from the Government in one way or another. They are so clueless, they don’t understand that they are cheering the destruction of productive assets and trying to close down industries which create the very same wealth that funds their lifestyles.
Thirdly, is their counterproductive stupidity. If they are really concerned about Co2 emissions they should be supporting the forestry industry. When a tree is harvested (and a new tree planted) and the wood used in building or industry the Co2 is sequestered in the wood product. (Unless the wood is burnt in the UK to generate electricity as part of a con to artificially inflate their ‘renewables’ numbers). And the new tree planted absorbs Co2 as it grows (Yes, Co2 is a plant food)
Alternatively, they sit back and watch as the forest is incinerated, the timber that could have sequestered the Co2 if it had been harvested, instead goes up in flames and the Co2 is emitted. And thirdly, is their influence on governments with the madness of the Victorian Labor government, bowing to these activists demands by planning to shutting their States forest industry, costing the state billions each year - and which will only ensuring that future bushfires will be even more intense with more fuel to burn.
