>>2673756You said the pine forests of Georgia were not forests. You also said in a shining example of your own ignorance of geography there were no dense forests in AZ or the SW. When in fact massive tracts of the four corners states are forests at the same density as the PNW. Your own definition of a forest is an arbitrary and extremely limited view. No one thinks that Sweden's 157k sq mi of forest or the SW's 140k sq miles of forest are anything other than what they are, huge fucking forests. You get hung up on diversity shit and are still wrong on that, as any forest in the world consists of maybe 5 dominant species in the majority of its area, even if it has 100s of total species, CA and AZ have more tree species than TN and KY and get this, more total forested area than either of those states total land areas individually. You also are severely delusional about satellite pics vs on the ground when it comes to stand density.
