Onvoorstelbaar. Ik voelde werkelijk de chemie in mijn lichaam veranderen naar diepe treurnis bij het lezen ervan. Maar men zal elders wel compenseren hoor. Wel niet gaan kijken een jaar nadat de nieuwe boompjes zijn aangeplant want tegen dan zijn ze waarschijnlijk veelal dood. Een ding is zeker, zoveel CO2 opslaan als oude bomen doen ze al zeker niet en is dat niet wat net zo dringend is ? FTW!

Lijkt wel fossiel gestuurd nieuws...
1. Heb je dat bericht volledig nagecheckt? Ook betreft over hoeveel jaren het ging? Is dat het volledig verhaal?
2. En hoe relatief is dat getal - per jaar - tov nieuw geplante boompjes ter compensatie. Best ook vanaf jaar xxxx.
1. Jouw bron vermeldt namelijk niets van enige compensatie, want die is daar alvast aan verbonden. Of hebben Schotten geen duurzaam bosbeheer?
Dan maar een andere bron nemen, de eerste de beste...

The SNP has been slated after it was revealed Ministers rubber-stamped plans to cut down almost 16 million trees to build wind farms on public land. The revelation came despite the nationalist party boasting about its green credentials, and being involved in a coalition with the Scottish Greens.
Mairi Gougeon, the Scottish Government's Rural Affairs Secretary, admitted that they had felled millions of trees in order to build more turbines. It forms part of the SNP administration's plans to make Scotland net zero over the next decade.
But this confession was labelled "astonishing" by the Scottish Tories who highlighted the "significant damage" that getting rid of woodland can do to the wildlife. It was estimated that 15.7 million trees had been felled since 2000.
This was done on publicly-owned land which is managed by quango Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) and is the equivalent of 1,700 per day. According to the Daily Telegraph, Ms Gougeon insisted that there was a planning presumption in favour of protecting woodland, despite the amount being chopped down.
She added that wind farm developers would be expected to undertake "compensatory planting elsewhere”. The government is aiming to add about 20,000 more turbines over the next few years so that they can generate 20GW of power, to add to the 19,000 they already have. [...]
Ms Gougeon wrote to Scottish Tory MSP Liam Kerr about wind farm developments and revealed that the equivalent of about 7,858 hectares of trees had been chopped down to make way for wind farms since 2000. There is an average of 2,000 trees per hectare.
She said: "This gives an estimated total of 15.7 million trees which have been felled in order to facilitate windfarm development. Removal should only be permitted where it would achieve significant and clearly defined additional public benefits. Where woodland is removed in association with development, developers will generally be expected to provide compensatory planting in order to avoid a net loss of woodland.”
And she claimed that many of the felled trees will have been "replanted on site" or replaced elsewhere, with the vast majority of them being part of a commercial crop that would have been chopped down anyway "at the end of their rotation”.

We aim to plant 25 million trees in Scotland every year. That's five for every person in the country. By planting a mix of broadleaf and conifer trees we're growing forests that will capture carbon emissions over the next century.
And it's not just planting. Careful planning and management allows natural regeneration in some areas.
Some trees will be managed to produce timber and some for permanent forests, but all will absorb emissions and help Scotland on its way to Net Zero.

2. En hoeveel hebben ze er geplant sinds 2000 is dan ook weer interessant.
272 miljoen tussen 2000 en 2019 is 14,3 miljoen boompjes per jaar.
Of dubbelcheck van die gekapte bomen en nieuw geplante boompjes: (van RMIT Uni Australië zelfs: https://www.rmit.edu.au/about/school...dustry/factlab )

A news site with ties to the fossil fuel industry claimed Scotland axed 14 million trees to make way for wind farms. Is that correct?

Did Scotland axe 14 million trees to make way for wind farms?
A US news website with ties to the oil and gas industry has selectively plucked information from a years-old news article about Scotland's efforts to tackle climate change, driving a fresh wave of misinformation about renewable energy.
In recent days, hundreds of social media posts have alleged that 14 million trees were chopped down in Scotland to make way for wind farms.
"Environmental madness", one widely shared tweet reads. "Scotland launched a number of wind turbine projects in an obsessive quest to cash in on renewables.
"The real tragedy is the destruction of 14 million trees, the mind-numbing hypocrisy of climate zealots, a hoax created by the UN."
Other posts, meanwhile, suggest the 14 million trees had been cut down "since 2020".
But that's not the full story.
Scotland axed 14 million trees to make way for wind farms - but also planted 272 million others in the same period. (ABC News: Philippa McDonald)
According to the government agency Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), 14 million trees were cut down to make way for wind farms in Scotland, but this had occurred over 20 years.
Meanwhile, over the same period (from 2000), 272 million trees were planted across the country.
That crucial fact is missing from an article published this week by the website Energy News Beat, which appears to have driven the recent surge in social media activity.
Notably, the omission comes despite the article drawing heavily on a two-year-old story published by Scottish news site The Herald, in which an FLS spokesman was quoted as saying: "That figure for felled trees should also be contrasted with that for the number of trees planted in Scotland over the years 2000 - 2019, a total of 272,000,000, and renewable energy developments fit well with this."
He added: "The amount of woodland removed across Scotland's national forests and land, managed by FLS, for wind farm development is not even 1 per cent of the total woodland area", while the 14 million trees were a commercial crop that would ultimately have been felled for timber.
In an email to CheckMate, an FLS spokesman also explained that the 272 million trees planted did not include restock planting on commercial sites. In addition, the Scottish government requires that developers that fell trees to make way for wind farms must carry out compensatory planting elsewhere.
"On average, FLS will plant 25 million trees every year as restock planting of commercial crops," he said.
Notably, the Energy News Beat story was copied verbatim from the website CFACT.org, which belongs to the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, a US-based organisation that rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.
The executive publisher of Energy News Beat, Stuart Turley, is also the president and CEO of Sandstone Group, which describes itself as an energy data and finance consultancy "working with companies all throughout the energy value chain".
According to LinkedIn, both he and the company's former managing director (who co-hosts Energy News Beat's podcast) work for the King Operating Corporation, a "privately held Texas oil and gas company".

Stukje vertalen zonder kleurtjes:

Volgens de overheidsinstantie Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) zijn er in Schotland 14 miljoen bomen gekapt om plaats te maken voor windmolenparken, maar dit gebeurde in een periode van 20 jaar.
Ondertussen werden in dezelfde periode (vanaf 2000) 272 miljoen bomen geplant in het hele land.
Dat cruciale feit ontbreekt in een artikel dat deze week is gepubliceerd door de website Energy News Beat, dat de recente stijging van de activiteit op sociale media lijkt te hebben veroorzaakt.
Met name de weglating komt ondanks het feit dat het artikel sterk is gebaseerd op een twee jaar oud verhaal gepubliceerd door de Schotse nieuwssite The Herald, waarin een woordvoerder van FLS werd geciteerd: "Dat cijfer voor gekapte bomen moet ook worden vergeleken met dat voor het aantal bomen dat in Schotland is geplant in de jaren 2000 - 2019, in totaal 272.000.000, en ontwikkelingen op het gebied van hernieuwbare energie passen hier goed bij. "
Hij voegde eraan toe: "De hoeveelheid bos die is verwijderd in de nationale bossen en het land van Schotland, beheerd door FLS, voor de ontwikkeling van windmolenparken is nog geen 1 procent van het totale bosgebied", terwijl de 14 miljoen bomen een commercieel gewas waren dat uiteindelijk gekapt zou zijn voor hout.
In een e-mail aan CheckMate legde een woordvoerder van FLS ook uit dat bij de 272 miljoen geplante bomen geen herbeplanting op commerciële locaties was inbegrepen. Daarnaast eist de Schotse overheid dat ontwikkelaars die bomen kappen om plaats te maken voor windparken elders compenserende aanplant moeten doen.
"Gemiddeld zal FLS elk jaar 25 miljoen bomen planten als aanvulling op de aanplant van commerciële gewassen," zei hij.
Met name het Energy News Beat-verhaal is letterlijk overgenomen van de website CFACT.org, die toebehoort aan het Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, een in de VS gevestigde organisatie die de wetenschappelijke consensus over klimaatverandering verwerpt.
De uitvoerende uitgever van Energy News Beat, Stuart Turley, is ook de president en CEO van Sandstone Group, die zichzelf omschrijft als een energiedata- en financieel adviesbureau "dat samenwerkt met bedrijven in de hele energiewaardeketen".
Volgens LinkedIn werken zowel hij als de voormalige algemeen directeur van het bedrijf (die mede-presentator is van de podcast van Energy News Beat) voor de King Operating Corporation, een "particulier olie- en gasbedrijf in Texas".
