It’s also the lack of trees that contributes to the flooding we experience. Way too much land is grazed to within an inch of its life and water just runs off into the rivers. Nobody thought to ask why medieval bridges that had stood for hundreds of years could no longer cope with all the water that ran under them, or where all the water was coming from.
I agree. Why are developing a national forest in prime agricultural land across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire when we have thousands of square miles of treeless moors which were covered in trees until we chopped them all down
@@ryanalexander3088 Surely they'd be just as good carbon sinks with trees growing on them? Wet bogs hold loads of CO2 sure, but a combination of a peat bog to hold CO2 and trees to absorb it more quickly seems like the best combination, with the benefit that the trees will turn into more peat when they die, locking up their carbon, and trees will prevent erosion of the peat. Plus, the minimal CO2 released by the peat would be absorbed by the trees directly above.
Yes those sheep farmers have created a catastrophe on the moors . No seedling or sapling has any chance of survival ...eaten by sheep within weeks of sprouting . There were massive woodlands in the North
@Jason Tempel tbf to them both, the West already built up its large infrastructure system whereas India and China still have to develop them in a lot of their underdeveloped regions. I just think we need a lot more international cooperation and action on this.
Russia got its forest back but because they're evil, everyone ignores this fact. Yet UK is still screaming they need trees back by getting rid of farms.. How about getting rid of buildings for trees?
Fantastic idea! But it also starts at home in your backyard. When I bought my house 4yrs ago there was only 2 trees in my little yard. Now I have planted 36 :)
That's beautiful! The only thing I know of is that when trees take away sun they will be chopped down no matter how old and magnificent they are. Which is of course madness and I loathe it a lot!
They're about to cut down the 100+ year old trees on my street to make the local tennis court less bumpy... Instead of maybe raising the court onto a slightly elevated platform, or just doing a bit of work on the roots, they're choosing to cut down all of the trees entirely. They're huge old trees too.
Good idea but natural landscapes shouldn't be replaced with tree farms. Regrow complex mixed forests with native species of trees and enough light coming through to allow life on the forest floor.
To be honest, planting trees on the sidewalk, streets, by buildings and maybe even ON buildings in the city of london will not only be effective for dusty air, it will add a lot more colour to the city.
The cost of dealing with the impact of Climate Change will be much greater than the cost of dealing with the cause. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Phase out coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar energy. Individuals, businesses and governments need to be educated about climate change and how they can reduce fossil fuel use.
Do they really think planting a few trees on a small island is going to have an impact on the climate? All they are doing is increasing the value of the land which will later be sold to companies that want to build industrial and housing estates on it, thats why councils are excited about it, its always about money.
My council (east Herts) is doing some good job actually by incentivising companies to plant trees. Big companies can dig out free gravel for example and once done, return it as woodlands. It’s beautiful as well
On former coal fields that were strip minded here in the US, the State, Federal and local governments along with the universities, volunteers, wildlife groups and mining companies have restored and stabilized the soil, replanted trees and under story plants along with restoring the proper hydrology and water quality of the former mining sites with fantastic results. Birds, deer, black bear, reptiles and amphibians return along with an Elk re-introduction program has been very successful.
John SaiaThe US is 50 different countries. Some are horrible and some are great. I actually lived and went to higher school in America - New Jersey - the garden state... I don’t remember many gardens but it was a long time ago. California alone is almost the same size (GDP) of the whole of the U.K.
Planting trees and getting rid of internal combustion engines would have zero effect on the climate. UK is a tiny island. This is about entire continents not tiny islands. Even if all continents planted billions of new trees, how many decades is it going to take for those new forests to grow ? We should have protected the trees we had.
I'm an environmental biology student at the Polytechnic of sokoto state, Nigeria . I'm thrilled by the efforts put in place by governments around the world to curtail climate chaos.
Here in the NC USA, we are cutting down trees like crazy. They don't even plant new ones, they say they will grow from the rubble they leave behind. It sucks!!
They have cut down rain Forrest’s for profit we need farm land for food Sheffield cut a lot of their trees down because g5 couldn’t get a proper signal so start and look at what big businesses are doing first before they start on the farm land. With regards to our European neighbours they have more land than we do. Just a thought they don’t like us burning fossil fuel doesn’t that cause carbon emissions? When I was younger they used to plant a new tree in both the front and back of any new house built.
sky news has no affiliation with the BBC and do not use the TV licence fees. only the BBC taxes us for watching live tv, recorded tv, bbc programs on bbc channels and iplayer
We do this already on a large scale in the South and the Pacific Northwest with excellent results. During the Depression the CCC replanted millions of trees as most were logged over because people needed to sell it for money. The results have been great.
It really annoys me that in my own area local authorities are cutting the trees back instead of planting more. It's almost as if the people who are in the positions of power and authority are morally unfit to be there or perhaps need retraining.
soon we will have no choice but to live in sky scrapers and tower blocks as there will be no room for farmland and woodlands if we continue to build houses
UK has historically had among the worst deforestation the continent has ever seen. this can’t just be planting a bunch of the same trees; a lot of land needs to be transformed back into natural ecosystems
There's so much land in the UK used for animal agriculture and this use is very inefficient. Consuming less meat and dairy and turning pastures into forests as they once were has to be done on a big scale in the UK in the next 20 years. If we want a stable global climate, the UK must be heavily forested, as it was for so long, not just grassland.
They want 20% of the place to be covered with those nasty, dank, dense and ugly conifer plantations that destroy native boglands. Bog removes more carbon than forests as it compresses it down into peat below the surface. This whole “reforest Britain” is literally just a money making scheme for logging companies. Oak, ash and other native trees need to be planted. Covering every mountain everywhere with pine trees is going to wreck the environment. Trees need to be planted in unused farmland not bog.
Khadr Trudeau too be far the Eastern USA has lost a lot of its Eastern Hardwood Forests. There is still a lot of forest cover in parts of the northern United States and western United States but not as much in the more urbanized east and agricultural land of the prairies.
Khadr Trudeau ya. Livestock don’t mind the forest. But forest isn’t just grass and trees. Sheep and goats are grazing animals meaning they prefer grasses. In dense forests grasses don’t grow as well due to the lack of sunlight caused by shade. but in forest clearings livestock do very well.
This was very misleading, just about England as usual. 2019 Scotland planted 11000 hectares of forest. England planted about 3000 hectares. England being bigger should be planting more.
It's easy enough to get 100% of Britain to visit a supermarket once or twice a week, so why is it so difficult to get 100% of Britain to visit a woodland and a garden centre once a year in autumn. Wtf
Trees take too long to grow but hemp on the other hand takes around 110 days and an acre can sequester 1.63t of CO2. We need billions of hemp seeds planted, the amount of things that hemp can replace is amazing. Email your M.P.s about hemp for climate change today.
There is a plot of land laid barren and fences around it for years. How would I go about planting trees on it. Should I just jump the fence and plant them myself. Or do I need council permission. It's based in Chester.
So who came up with a billion trees. Some expert no doubt Perhaps we need a billion less people. Sadly we all want more, all want cars power this and that and we all want to fly and wrap our world in CO2. Mans success may well be our downfall.
UK need to stop cutting down natural forests that have been here for thousands of years and replacing them with crappy pine trees. I started wild camping 8 years ago. Natural forests were abundant. Now its mainly pine trees. They mature twice as quick but are something like 40% less efficient at collecting carbon dioxide. Natural forests are amazing like something out of a fair tale. Ever walked through a pine forest, they suck.
“Planting trees” sounds great. But, some how I don’t see Bambi and Thumper frolicking around. I see monoculture and harvesting of stored CO2 in a few decades. I hope I’m wrong.
I want to retrain as an arboriculturist this year. This costs money and I don't have any, plus planting trees on agricultural land is absolute madness. Planting trees on agricultural land will just mean Britain will have to import more food. This would accelerate climate change not slow it down.
Along with planting trees, Britain has to reduce its unsustainable population. Imagine a tiny island like Great Britain having dozens of millions people, this is true madness.
@@ia8018 We don't less people, we need less SUVs ,less land rovers and status symbol Cars. More pushbikes and people walking their fat arses around. As far as I'm aware British agriculture maxed out can only support 30 million people realistically so I agree that, that is a dangerous situation. If there was some kind of emergency were we had to become self sufficient this would mean only enough food for one in every two people. We should lower our consumption of meat. There is 9.3 million people living in great Britain today that weren't born here so sending them home would bring our carbon footprint down by reducing our need for importation of food. This would address the trade imbalance with the EU too.
climate change isnt a hoax, if it were then why are natural disasters like hurricanes getting stronger, why are wildfires getting hotter and happening more frequently, why are the polar caps melting.
Probably gonna be tree tax. Get charged for looking at them now, retroactive taxation for people who have cut one down or played with twigs. Anybody on the last 50 years to look at a tree pays a back tax!
the whole world has already gone into climate shock because we have cleaned the planet to quickly. in the uk 30 years ago the UK planted well over one million plus trees which is pobably half way there to a billion trees by now. how clean has the air got to be we got rid of our major polution in this country years ago.
Could we not reforest some of the thousands of square miles of heath and moorland in this country that is of little or no agricultural worth? Like Dartmoor/Peak District/Yorkshire etc. These areas were covered in trees before the Bronze Age. And with global warming, Britain's relatively low treeline is climbing higher. Or will people demand these man-made areas are left in the artificial, relatively barren state they are currently in?
Global warming Bollocks carbon is the giver of life we need more carbon dioxide not less we have less now than in the Roman times ...The Romans were growing grapes in yorkshire it is to cold to grow them now.
@@johnatherton6300 infra red is a type of light that comes from the sun hat we can't see. A lot is reflected. CO2 is like black dye to infra red light. It absorbs almost all of it. This causes the atmosphere to heat up if there is more CO2. Get some water, sprinkle a little charcoal dust into one lot and not another, freeze them both and leave them out in the sun, see which melts first. The one with the charcoal will melt first. CO2 in the air works exactly the same, do the experiments yourself, wake up.
And China needs 100 trillion. It doesn't even matter what the UK does, we contribute just fine in making our environment eco friendly and try our best to reduce harmful emissions with new legislation and what not. But NONE of it makes any difference when the biggest countries in the world won't lift a finger to help out. That's why I find the little protest in London completely and utterly useless.
The all of Europe becomes super green, neighbours will follow. Then there will be immense pressure to go green to China, India, & the USA. “They pollute more than I do” Isn’t really an excuse to ramp up oil or keep polluting.
@TheHealthPhysicist OK, for the uneducated:- Co2 follows global temperature which is controlled by the sun, not as the uneducated think where Co2 causes temperature rise. Idiots want Carbon zero. What are all the plants going to do then?
Warnz jeez u r dumb.The more co2 released the higher the temperature of the earth because it’s a greenhouse gas.Carbon dioxide absorbs UV rays from the sun.Therefore the more co2 released the hotter the earth .
This is funny. Meanwhile, trees in America are cut down, ground up and made into wood pellets, which are then shipped to Europe to be burned in their "green" wood furnaces boilers, etc.
a lot of what was farming land is now owned by people from nonfarming areas they have a couple of ponies on three or four acres the fields have not been looked after correctly .If ever britex takes place we should make our land work for us as was done in the war .There are areas of unsightly litter covered land to start planting trees

@@johnatherton6300 infra red is a type of light that comes from the sun hat we can't see. A lot is reflected. CO2 is like black dye to infra red light. It absorbs almost all of it. This causes the atmosphere to heat up if there is more CO2.
Get some water, sprinkle a little charcoal dust into one lot and not another, freeze them both and leave them out in the sun, see which melts first. The one with the charcoal will melt first.
CO2 in the air works exactly the same, do the experiments yourself, wake up.
@@johnatherton6300 My father grows grapes in Lincolnshire, shut up.
UK needs more trees. UK needs more houses. UK needs more infrastructure. I can see a collision on the horizon.
Reduce farmland & bring cultured meat.
building houses for the vast population is not sustainable, we cant build out wards any more, we need to build upwards and downwards
And here we go again with the guilt trip.
A valid guilt trip.
the audio is broken
People just need to buy less. If aint broke....
Absorbs greenhouse gases. Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of hardwood trees.
but native trees and plants are more important as they protect the eco systems
And China needs 100 trillion. It doesn't even matter what the UK does, we contribute just fine in making our environment eco friendly and try our best to reduce harmful emissions with new legislation and what not. But NONE of it makes any difference when the biggest countries in the world won't lift a finger to help out. That's why I find the little protest in London completely and utterly useless.
The all of Europe becomes super green, neighbours will follow. Then there will be immense pressure to go green to China, India, & the USA. “They pollute more than I do” Isn’t really an excuse to ramp up oil or keep polluting.
No room for trees, need space to build houses for the new arrivals
Plant half of the in Grave Yards and along streets and road sides (make house planing permission legal to plant trees 30 yards from houses.
Turkey has a National Tree Planting Day every year.
Instead everybody cultivating cannabis and marihuana, people should plant trees..😊
1 billion? UK need 30 billion
Better go for agro forest, agro industries
1 billion trees will need a lot of Co2 to make them grow
We've got plenty of it.
That's the idea.
@TheHealthPhysicist OK, for the uneducated:- Co2 follows global temperature which is controlled by the sun, not as the uneducated think where Co2 causes temperature rise. Idiots want Carbon zero. What are all the plants going to do then?
Warnz jeez u r dumb.The more co2 released the higher the temperature of the earth because it’s a greenhouse gas.Carbon dioxide absorbs UV rays from the sun.Therefore the more co2 released the hotter the earth .
This is funny. Meanwhile, trees in America are cut down, ground up and made into wood pellets, which are then shipped to Europe to be burned in their "green" wood furnaces boilers, etc.
Yeah well speak to the supposed land owners about it.
so why has Sheffield chopped thousands of trees down and continue to do so?
Hempsoil/Food Forests/Cannabis Farms Era begins
my left ear understood well
Just like mine lol
If the uk government gives me 2 million a would easily cover Scotland and east coast of England
if I won the lottery I would buy up farm land and plant it up with trees. not that simple of course but I would do it!!
Ok but where are they in the video
It's beautiful
Are there trees in England?
I was driving through England and came to signs saying we were in Sherwood Forest. But there were practically no trees there.
I just changed tariffs on my Co2 package.
We are going to need a lot of CO2 to keep all those trees alive.
The idea is to reduce the CO2 dumb dumb
Trees are our investment in a healthy future!
a lot of what was farming land is now owned by people from nonfarming areas they have a couple of ponies on three or four acres the fields have not been looked after correctly .If ever britex takes place we should make our land work for us as was done in the war .There are areas of unsightly litter covered land to start planting trees
Since time of publication "Nearly 1/4 of the earth is covered with trees... "
Not a billion...at least a trillion!
where is the water for the tree
Ever heard of rain
when it rains the trees can also restore aquifers under ground
Christmas trees in their millions are cut down from November but that's ok eh. Like climate change and polluted air before November till after New Year tons of fireworks go off
Firewood to sell? Erm...
my right ear enjoyed that
