Can confirm from selling some wood from inheritance lands to pay the inheritance tax. Basically the good trees get sold for lumber and the ones not good enough become cellulose/paper (with the big machines you always do a full clearing

Everything today is better then yesterday and tomorrow everything will be better then today (on average on a global a scale for all the issues you pointed out). Progress is being made all the time. But the news/media mostly just report

I think we do have the technology. Just not the budget it would take to do in near future with the technology available. To make it economically feasible is going to take some time. If US put the same kind of money into NASA they did during
