Declining trees spell gloom for planet

I have noticed over the last 40 odd years I have lived on the upper Blue Mountains, that larger properties which are tree

studded are being bought up and subdivided, then out come the chain saws and trees are removed.

This would be common place in all areas where there are sizeable housing lots.Councils appear to be powerless to stop

this trend, due to the housing shortage. We are destroying the environment that could very well save us.

Climate change deposed the former leaders of both main parties: Kevin Rudd (Labor) because his position was too weak, Malcolm Turnbull (Liberals) because his position was too strong. When Julia Gillard, the new Labor leader, also flunked the issue, many of her supporters defected to the Greens.
