But what about the non-corrupt government stuff, said no one

How is it depressing? They're replacing one kind of plant with another kind of plant. We don't need trees for anything. All the oxygen we need comes from algae in the ocean.

Because God created humans with sympathy for our surroundings. There is no reason evolution would ever produce that effect because if destroying our environment is beneficial then it spreads our genes more and we should enjoy it.

I had the same thought 😢

I enjoyed seeing the cedars get taken out, invasive species here in my area. They need to be burned though, it takes decades for them to decay.

​@@morganfreeman1906 seek mental help please. this is unhinged and not how ecology works. also god doesn't real

Destroying ecosystems for monocultures real smart but there $ to be made. How self serving and demonic is that.

Is the implication we should stop eating so that farmland can be re-forested? I don't get it.

@@chrisc7265 No! That's a rather bizarre conclusion. We make better use of the farmland we have.Employ better farming practices. Use technology like hydroponics. We need forests and oceans to transform carbon dioxide to oxygen. We need forests for bio diversity, water regulation and climate regulation. They are a precious and diminishing commodity. We could say that, "Farms are often located in areas that are well suited to forests." And I farm.

many historically forested areas were replaced with farmland then that farmland was abandoned and invasive species can pop up and pose more of a fire and ecological hazard than well planned agroforestry operation or intact native forest. this actually seems likely a very effective form of chop and drop and looks like it would be fantastic for removing invasive blackberries and pine monocultures in favor of mixed stands of timber nut and fruit trees.

@@itwasntme8770 hydroponics is basicly the same as this video aquaponics anthroponics and compost ponics are better. agroforestry and regenerative grazing make a great pair especially if the goal is to directly feed the crop to the livestock. biodiversity easily works its way in and around the edges and water catchment areas timber areas and such.

A BIGGER matter of time

Really, who writes this crap?

Yes I noticed that, should have said “in a short matter of time” but I guess robots don’t know that and haven’t been to grammar school.😀

@@TheGrimReaper1 Linguistically laziness, Like say, "I could care less", when meant to say, "I could NOT car less."

There aren't many koalas in usa

@@vladtepes97 LOL. The clearing takes place in Queensland which is in Australia.

There is also a lot more than just koalas living there

Yet the narrator speaks like this is a bad thing. I almost laughed at the ominous music and did when he suggested fire was a bad thing. Forest fires are a natural way that the floor is cleared, regular use of fires prevents the catastrophic losses we're seeing in the news now. People are dumb to listen to this shit like its bad.

​@sixoh_diesel5662 Idk if you watched the entire video but he literally said "most of this is done to produce land for, soy, palm, and cattle". Those are arguably bad....fire or not.

@@sixoh_diesel5662 Forest fires are a natural thing as well as a man made thing, however monoculture is purely a man made thing of virtually no benefit to the environment.

​@@codejunki567 🤣 Propagnada much?

@EnFuego79 Destroying forest for palm and soy.....is fucking bad. Theres no propaganda there. Propaganda isn't even in the right context here because my government benefits from this destruction....try to use your head, if you have one.

This wont work on Missouri hardwoods.. No way wade...

@@davehughesfarm7983 Oh, I was wondering about the land mines in the farm fields. Like using the chain to explode them, so they don’t explode when you went to plowing. Thought it might work but maybe makes it worse. IDK.

@@GMT_400 sounds like it would be a good idea. Not sure if it would be enough weight to set off anti-tank mines though

@@Bikinirecon it doesn't take as much weight as you would think to set off most anti-tank mines. A heavy enough human stepping just right can set them off.

​@Axeman1224 pretty sure anti tank mines take more weight then a single person. I have heard of them taking 500-1000lbs. Anti personnel mines can be set off pretty easily. I think they have a pretty light trigger.

Yea that's why it's 120 degrees there!!!!!

Someone paid them. They're the ones to thank.

There all dead now. The arizona forest serv. Paid the ranchers to do it. And are still doing it.

Not to mentiom the wimd picks up a lot frok no trees.

I have to agree with the hippys on this one, that ground is to arid to do this. This has to be mexico or SA... In the US you would have to hydroseed right behind the dozers.

They can probably faster. Tree bomber look it up

So true but no profit in that.

Pretty sure they can.

Sure it can be done, just take time to grow.

In some of these locations the trees are actually detrimental to the ecosystem by venting water into the atmosphere, they shouldn't be there and wouldn't have been in the age of normal wildfire cycles. If that makes you feel any better.

as a tree hugger this is amazing for putting replacing monocultures, doing chop and drop, and planting regenerative agroforestry and silvopasture farms. i spent a ton of time removing blackberries and clearing brush on an abandoned road after the trees grew up and properly shaded it. let me tell you this is outright amazing

Weight torque and grip

Funny, it seems to still be here...perhaps the word "Destroy" is a bit sensationalist

And your house or apartment and shopping center has always been on a cleared drain free land without human involvement, grow up.

@@mattt198654321 by every definition, using a device such as this is certainly destructive. And at no point did I ever state or imply “complete” destruction.

@@brendanmouat6942 I never said or implied that. Maybe one day you will realize how totally unnecessary man’s intrusion and exploitation of our earth has become. I realize that we,being a dominant species, will always develop more and more destructive means of exploiting our planet. Perhaps when, and if you “grow up” you will realize the extent to which mankind has exploited our Planet.

And now they are realising that stock, cattle sheep or whatever do much better if they have adequate shade, not just one tree in the middle of the paddock.

Why don't you just chop down cedar trees for wood?

@@bradley7454cause cedar trees are a problem before they are mature enough to harvest for lumber

Fire used to do the clearing

@@bradley7454 They also use an enormous amount of water and water sources become very brackish as they leave the salts behind. And since they grow in widely separated clumps, it's very difficult to make it commercially viable. And until it's commercially viable, it won't happen until it becomes a necessity. Human nature.

@@effervescentrelief interesting. Maybe plant them in places where water is stagnant. Maybe just throw the trees into the mulcher. I looked online at Cedar tree. Cedarwood oil is used as an insect repellent. So it is commercially viable unless you need to put in more money than you can get out of it.

Weren’t your farms land wooded at one time and then cleared though?

Being a retired US Navy Tomahawk cruise missile technician, love that skit/video!

you bet awesome idea, shame there clearing arid land thats going to blow away without trees on it but i suppose all the good lands been cleared a long time ago

@@chrisundertow8464 Arid land is not known for having lots of trees on it. I know because I live in an arid area and the native trees only grow around gullies and rivers. Once you get past them and onto flat land that crops can be grown on there are no native trees growing. And the only non-native and native trees growing beyond the gullies and rivers are those people plant and keep watered.

Very damaging!

Not good!

You mean rail. Railroad ties un the U.S. are made out of wood and cannot be welded.

Yup, building society to house and feed the completely brainwashed and thankful apparently...

Destroy?

Nailed it.

Third reaction: my kids will probs starve cos nothing will grow because the earth is being hotboxed

Ah, shut it.

No wildlife ... thats a dead forest. No grass or vegetation that could support life .... single species forests like this one spell death to wildlife.

Exactly my sentiment! 💯❤️🌎🔥

Says a lot abt the human race doesn't it.

You every hear a cat dozer start up and move? Everything has fucking ran off.

Or Chicago

Good for the southern border!

They actually have used D8’s to demolish terraced houses in the Uk 🇬🇧. In the 1980’s

Good for the lawn

Washington DC anyone?

Def smaller trees. I’m in a 326 clearing in Mississippi and no way in hell it’s chopping down old oaks, white oaks, huge pines, etc. Like you it’s takes 15-20 minutes digging around alone before you can fall them.

Pretty sure they're using a powerful zoom like when filming Savannah

I would be nervous even in the dozer. If that chain breaks...look out!

I was thinking the same thing. No way that guy was using zoom. Not a chance I'm standing that close to moving anchor chain period

I bet that anchor chain is worth a lot of money.

Awesome job destroying wildlife ! I'm sure you're proud !

You have to use a semi truck with a winch kit. Winch on 40’ at a time.

... you mean the life forms that give us the O2 to breathe and of course there's the CO2 they need to survive must cut that back as well ... seems like a plan in there somewhere.

they are not worried about that. destruction of the trees is the goal. creation of deserts. like the Sahara, which was all rainforests not that long ago. desserts create shortage and shortage creates wealth.... at least, that's the business model that they are working to. forests give independence and you are not allowed independence.

You think the roots would be easier to remove if they were still buried in the ground? LOL. There are machines designed to pick up felled trees and cut all the branches off and saw them into logs.

They either harvest it or pile it and burn it.

Replacing fire and first nations forestry in controlling the junipers.

and destruction of lizards, snakes, birds and other animals

As long as they don't grow water intensive crops like almonds, sugarcane, tomatoes etc.

If people weren't so dependent on the government and huge companies and grew their own food this wouldn't be happening. People are parasites. We need a Thanos finger snap.

Did you watch the whole video? They use root cutters afterwards...

You are the Rich Little of our age- impersonating artificial (lack of) intelligence🤣

That can’t leave it very visually appealing afterwards? You could just hire somebody who specializes in clearing like myself and get it done quicker and visually appealing after…

It's the back part of my property that no one sees anyway. I have contacted a few people about clearing it, but people around here want $600 or more just to unload their equipment! Some say it's not profitable to come out for just 3 1/2 acres and don't even quote me a price. It only has to be done once a year and it only takes me about 2 hours of driving around in air conditioning, listening to the radio, so why not just save that money?@@davidlove47

They literally do that

You know what else is important to our lives? Food

And crops don't do that? What do you think those leafy greens are doing?

@@chaddufour7693 And remind me, how long does that procedure take?

Haha

Plus the added railroad track

Yes because Biden voters love China

It looks like a low wind area. I don't know if they would be putting any wind mills there. And wind mills take up a small footprint. Farmers in Minnesota are renting their hedge row land for windmills. They don't take up any actually farm land space. And the farmer gets a huge land rental fee. So he's happy.

I’ve logged an 8 acre circle, mulched it down, all for a test windmill to see if they could put up a real windmill plantation. A 20 million dollar project that was to break even in twenty years if everything went correctly. Obama.

Even if that’s what this clearing was being done for (which it most likely isn’t…most of this clearing is probably done for grazing in the under-developed parts of the world) clearing land for solar and wind is still WAY less destructive than clearing land for a strip mine. Your “argument” shows a bit of simple-mindedness.

I was bout to say, I don't live in dense forest but this looks great for clearing all the desert crap off the ground and scraping it clean where I live.

The small wheel acts like an odometer in a car.

@@bradsmith5838 I thought that, but surely the dozer knows that anyway through the transmission? Even traction losses are still accounted for through the standard onboard systems.

@@Dr.IanPlect that model only has an hour meter, traction losses are negligible in the calculations for 100s of acres being cleared.

@@bradsmith5838 'only an hour meter' answers it, thanks

I think it's to mark the ground so that the operator can orient himself on the next pass in a way that doesn't destroy the work already done

It's more than the trees entire ecosystems are wiped out.

No its not sad. Its called life.

There will never be a stopping point until humans are all dead and then the planet Will Survive just fine

It’s the circle of life and everything living eventually dies, of course however not everything that gets to live necessarily lives a “full” term life. Even when dying young most trees have already spread millions maybe even billions of potential offspring seeds just waiting to sprout up somewhere and take their parents place. Trees by far outnumber people and if we just left them all grow unchecked until their natural death occurred they would quickly turn most places into unlivable jungle like terrain and almost nothing civilized would get done efficiently. There is definitely not a shortage of trees and we could never kill them all even if we tried simply because of their respawn rate. Trees can reproduce way faster than we can and on average they mature and grow enough to be useful faster than we do as well so if there was ever a shortage one person could plant and cultivate thousands of trees from just a single mature specimen and then repetitively harvest millions of board feet of lumber every 10-15 years or simply do it to increase that particular species population 1,000 fold each year with very little effort. For every tree that falls, ten volunteer hardwoods sprout up in the lawn and if we actually needed those trees, we wouldn’t just mow the babies down every spring. 👊

lol the stopping point was lunch time...

Per square mile? Or are you saying in total on the earth?

I don't see environmentalism as some conspiracy to mislead. I'm not anti science. I haven't seen a load of research or scientists saying what we really need to do is cut down all the trees because they're causing us a problem.

Per square mile.

Especially when combined with intensive grazing of herbivores. After grass is grazed it is thrown back into the teenage growth stage and sequesters even more carbon. Basically, the millions of buffalo that once grazed the plains were producing more carbon sequestration than any forest can sequester. Healthy pasture and prairie lands have more photosynthesizing surface area pre square foot, therefore more sequestration ability than almost any forest. And it can recover in weeks as apposed to years if it is grazed/cut, and the cutting actually improves the sequestration activity! Clean little secret, grasslands and herbivores are the answer if we are honest.

Grassland that is grazed and turned to infertile soil after a few years does not sequester more carbon that trees.. rich, diverse praries maybe yes, grassland, definitely not.
