Man made climate change is destroying the forest behind our house

The weather is clearing from last nights storms. I just took a look at the damage from this storm.

The other side of our backyard fence is a tree reserve not included as part of the forest, even though they join. Back in Oct. of 97 an out of season snow storm hit the area. Trees hadn't dropped their leaves yet. More than 10% of the trees in the area were destroyed. Many that survived the event were damaged so bad, they could not withstand another storm. In Aug. of 99 a storm that brought 13 inches of rain brought down many of these damaged trees. June of 2008 brought another storm that took 10% of the trees in the area. Two storms this week have brought down many more trees around us. The full count won't be know for a month or so. In our immediate surrounding area of 100 yards in any direction, over a dozen trees have disappeared in the 3 & 1/2 years we have lived here.

Add in the deer over population doing damage, and the picture by nature professionals is very ugly.

The cause is fossil fuels. Drill baby drill.

2. This photo was taken in May of 09

The top of the frame shows limbs and trees on the ground. This is our back yard fence. With our anniversary party tonight, I have to much to start doing to post a current picture. I will try to put one up tomorrow.

3. I was asked for more photos of our back yard

Marta is a wiz at photos, but I don't want her on the DU until 4 P.M. today. I found these without asking her for help.

Here is our rat terrier sweetie asking to keep the deer. Looking East.



This is a winter morning shot. Early morning is the only time we can see the Missouri river when the sun hits it. Solar lights and Frank Lloyd Wright wind chime included. Looking Southeast.
