>>2761957>The significant drop in relative humidity on the western continent can be directly corelated with deforestation.Yes. However there is also natural variation as well, as I've mentioned. During the little ice age the climate of the western US in general was colder and drier throughout generally, this also caused native americans to migrate.
>Retard: from 1720 to 1900 they clearcut the entire west coast. There are countless tens of thousands of sq miles in both the coastal west and the intermountain west that were not heavily or even moderately disturbed. If you actually went out in all western US states for years (I have), you will be able to tell immediately which ones were the least disturbed and which areas were never logged at all.
>Yes, you're going to ignore all my points and spam unrelated bullshit.No I am calling you out on your BS, we agree on many points, but you specifically get hung up on trying to apply BS forest jannies practices to different eras (with different climates) and different climates. In the eastern US it can actually be justified to use low intensity controlled burns on more than 2% of the forest area every 5-10 years as the temperature and precipitation allows for much faster sink rates and plant life cycles. In the western US, specifically the four corners and intermountain west, inconspicuous bushes can live for 500 years and weeds for 20+ years.
>Old growth is the natural state of west coast and NE forests.Yes. Which is now impossible in 90% of the forest area in the west (due to forest jannies and arsonists and logging companies in CA OR and WA) and 95-99% of the east (due to settlement density).
