16 Million Trees Cut Down To Make Way For Wind Farms, Scottish National Party Reveals

 Nearly 16 million carbon-catching trees have been cut down in Scotland since 2000 - in order to erect carbon-saving wind turbines - the Scottish National Party admitted last week.

An estimated 15.7 million trees - or about 1,700 per day - have been cut down on public land managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, Scottish Rural Affairs Secretary Mairi Gougeon revealed in a letter to Scottish Tory MSP Liam Kerr, who called the news "Astonishing."

"I've been contacted many times by rural communities all over the country questioning the location of these developments, sharing legitimate concerns not just about the visual impact but also damage to wildlife and business. Now we learn there's significant damage when it comes to trees."

Ironically, "The revelation came despite the nationalist party boasting about its green credentials, and being involved in a coalition with the Scottish Greens," Scottish Daily Express notes.

"If they're going to say it is better to have wind farms than it is to have forestry, then they must surely have that data. Because, if they don't, I think that would be very concerning, indeed."

"Trees Are Climate Change, Carbon Storage Heroes," the United States Department of Agriculture declares in an article describing how trees remove carbon from the air and store it, because they need it in order to grow.

"Joanie got it wrong: they did 'pave paradise' and they did take down the trees - but, they didn't 'put 'em in a tree museum," a GB News host quipped, quoting the song "Big Yellow Taxi," by Joni Mitchell.

In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
