PICTURED: Devastating Pictures of the Rape of America's century-old hardwood forests... Stripped Bare to Provide Wood Pellets for European Energy Plants - in a Deluded Bid to Meet Climate Goals

Environmentalists warn that hundreds of thousands of acres of forest are being torn down each year in the U.S. southeast to make wood pellets to fuel European power plants in a deluded bid to fight climate change.

The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) and other groups say logging in woodlands stretching from Texas to Virginia is ravaging a biodiversity hotspot, including century-old hardwood trees that will take decades to replace.

Is this being done to address climate change or is it because they're cutting off energy that they used to buy from Russia?

Figures part of the pitch was another handout. Jean Fraud Kerry is on it.

U.N. chief calls for global climate pact, warning of ‘highway to climate hell’


U.N. Secretary General António Guterres called for the creation of a “climate solidarity pact” between wealthier and developing countries to meet key climate goals in opening remarks at this year’s U.N. climate change conference in Egypt, known as COP27. As global temperatures continue to rise, Guterres said the planet is “on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.”

He issued the dire warning as world leaders gathered Monday in the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh at the front end of two weeks of talks. Leaders from several countries responsible for a significant chunk of global emissions are skipping the climate conference. China, the world’s biggest emitter, isn’t sending its top officials. The heads of other emissions-heavy countries such as Japan, India, Australia and Canada are also not attending.

Their absences come as leaders grapple with how wealthy nations will assist vulnerable countries and communities with the fewest resources in coping with climate change — an issue that will be a key flashpoint during gathering. On Monday, Guterres joined Pakistani prime minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country was devastated by deadly floods this year, to urge greater support for addressing “loss and damage” — a class of unavoidable, irreversible harms caused by climate change. The U.N. chief said: “The international community has a duty to help."
