- sph 8mo agoI loathe these stupid widgets that show a blank map as soon as you zoom out a little (past the 1000m scale in this case). How can you fail so hard at your only job?
- moi2388 8mo agoWell, there are a lot of trees. If you want you can interpret grey as green as that’s what you would see zoomed out?
- cbdevidal 8mo agoThat’s cool. My ancestor planted some of them. He was a mayor.
- sph 8mo agoI did a search, there are an estimated 3 trillion trees in the world; somehow that's much fewer than I expected.
- dspillett 8mo agoIt is actually three treellion. Even nature likes a terrible pun.
- hnuser123456 8mo agoWell there was probably a lot more a few hundred years ago.
- all2 8mo agoIt's actually the opposite, I think. Because of how industrialized the lumber/paper industries have gotten, stewardship of forests has improved over time. This includes replanting in harvested areas.
