Some days ago there came the news that the government promises to save the Hambach Forest!

Now it came out how they want to "save" it -

The plan is to dig around the main part of the remaining forest, so that it will end up as an peninsula surrounded by a desert that is 45° C hot in summer.

Waht does this mean ? The humid air will be sucked out of the forest by the air currents which result from the immense temperature difference between pit and forest (x) ; and second, the groundwater will flow on all sides into the pit, which is more than 400 meters deep

Impossible for the eco system to survive that!

 

Which sick brain created such a mad plan?
