"There is no war in Ba sing se"

[dividingrain]

The only big change i saw was sweden and finland

[theral]

The problem is that lot of those forests are monocultures planted purely for economical factor

[stevedownie]

Most forests in Europe consist of the same type of trees that are all the same age. It's not really forests. It's tree plantations with no diversity that will not last long and are very vulnerable to pests as well as bad weather.

[impala]

Hmm, as if a dramatic event took place 100 years ago affecting the level of forest

[Yucky]

Ice age: I'm helping them... But not for long..

[ionutblaga]

I love how Romania stayed green until Ikea know that the best deal of wood in Europe is Romania...

[lieutenantdark]

Maybe because that was when the industrial revolution was being tuned a bit to make it better for workers and better for the environment.

[SilIiestGoose]

Its also the same for the us, every year the amount of trees grow in the us and its been that way for almost a century

[JuanGomez-wpgm]

Podemos sentirnos orgullosos, pero ¿Hasta cuando vamos a seguir siendo el continente más ecofrienly con todos los sacrificios que está costando, mientras vemos como otros no paran de crecer y nosotros en cambio vamos cuestabajo y sin frenos?

[Cihaimasuiro]

The most subtle changes is Sweden and Findland and maybe norway too, good job

[fantadottv]

There is more vegetation than ever over the past 100 years because of global warning i think

[Saskatchewan_Investor]

Greener doesn’t always mean better. Darker “artificial” monoculture pine forests can actually cause the temperatures to increase in those regions as the suns heat isn’t reflected away. It’s all about the kinds of trees we plant, but also how we mix those forests with grasslands for even more carbon shortage.

Where is Russia, Norway, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania???
Or it is European Union?

[zkatt]

Couldn't find any comments mentioning this. The improvements and changes in agriculture have a large part in this. Less land needed for more food and stuff yk. Less free roaming animals limiting woods naturally and stuff like that has definitely contributed to this change. Have no clue as to how big of an impact it has had though.

[thodkats]

Well, industrial production was moved to the Global South, since this is how global capital is moving.

[VagrantJuno]

Makes sense, considering 100 years ago they made trenches all over the damn place then 20 years later fought a war where bombs where being dropped like rain

[DominikTorrentYT]

Where is Norway, Belarus and Ukraine?
