> Odd wording to describe a replanted forest as "desolate waste".

I know you're trolling, but planting trees doesn't replace an entire ecosystem.

Check out a palm oil plantation sometimes for what a desolate forest looks like.

Ah, so you were aware that the forests are replanted. You choose instead not to provide others with this information or inform that, but rather to editorialize. Now someone has asked you to justify how a replanted green forest is "desolate". Please keep on topic, we are talking about the tar sands not pal oil. Yes I know both have oil in the name but please understand they are not the same oil. Please for your own safety do not drink the tar sands.

Now back to your statement. Do you retract your claim of desolation? Or can you provide any evidence to support your position. Please do not reference palm oil in relation to the tar sands. No palm trees grow in Fort Mac.

First: No, I'm pretty sure that Danieru was not trolling.

Second, HN guidelines say that one should not accuse someone else of trolling. It almost never leads to a decent discussion.
