Speaking of bp, hit up the ER yesterday for some nasty stomach pain. It was lasting for a few days and not going away. Turns out I have been awarded with my first stomach ulcer.

I've always appreciated your inventiveness. It seems like you're always trying to create -- & in that way we are very alike.
Pole-italically and socially, not so much.
BTW, a trees age being ripe or old is very subjective.
And trees are growing faster than humans are harvesting -- that's a fact.

It's my contention that based on known growth rates, in multiple ecosystems -- proves growth is on par or exceeds harvest.
My region shows 1/2 or less growth rates to the west coast -- and clearcuts I walked through hunting as a kid -- now have 30' trees. In another 30-40 years, it can be harvested again.
Now look at a region with 2 times those growth rates.

I have a picture on my phone of a tree I planted when I was in scouts (like 25 years ago or so) its close to 50' tall. Sometime I'd like to make it back to all the units we planted that summer and see what they look like now. Problem is I don't really remember where the Hel any of them are, I know the general area... but its all different now anyway, and it was gated land then, let alone now.
On a side note there are several redwoods in my Ma's yard that my Grandpa planted before he died, sometime in the early 60's, They would make a decent saw log now.
The weird thing is she's been wanting me to fall em for a year or two, just can't bring myself to do it... their too young, don't make good firewood, and no one out here wants to mill redwood... so for now they remind me of someone I never met?

I love it!
You deny that the east coast forests haven't shrank along with the west coast forests!

I don't know what planet you live on mate, but this one can't afford your kinda ignorance much longer...
Change is a must, regardless of your grasp of reality.....

The problem is you just don't know when to shut the **** up. I really don't mind. I think its kind of amusing . Many more trees grow every day than are cut. The only thing shrinking is the general publics belief that we can and need to use our natural resources. We already know how to maintain em.

No, the problem is you don't recognize or believe in scientific empirically based facts n evidence.
Death is all you understand.
I feel sorry for your inability to see the grace and majesty that surrounds you mate.
Every tree has thousands of god's creations inhabiting it.
Your flawed attempt at playing god of the forest kills too much.
Balance in all things mate.

Ireland and Scotland got slicked off. . . And today, not one tree stands.
Oh wait, they have trees, must be unscientific majic!?
From your link:
"Some 300 million acres of forest land have been converted to other uses since 1630, predominantly because of agricultural uses in the East.
The forest resources of the U.S. have continued improving in general condition and quality, as measured by increased average size and volume of trees. This trend has been evident since the 1960s and before. The total forestland acreage has remained stable since 1900."

So 300 million acres of lost forest land somehow equates to a net gain in your mind?
Was there a dead zone at the base of the Mississippi in 1630 in your learned opinion mate?
Tell me more, I find it fascinating in terms of the knuckle dragger mentality...

And therein lies the basic selfish desire of every enviro nutcase. "Stuff was different 300 years ago, I want those trees right NOW!"
"I want those trees alive 300 years from now too!! It's not fair!!"
It's not good enough that quality, size and volume has improved, & total forested acreage has remained stable for 114 years. (Again, from your source).
Your own link doesn't support mass deforestation.
