At the WI DNR: Climate Change, Wisconsin And The Great Lakes? Yawn
Climate change is featured by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources management about as often as McDonald's promotes fasting.

The DNR has finally realized that milder temperatures and higher CO2 levels increase plant growth and they are now beginning to reap the benefits of higher timber yields from the state forests. With decreased sales in hunting and fishing licenses (except for wolves) the higher production and profit of growing and selling trees is now becoming more lucrative.
DNR employees have been told that the higher timber profits due to increased growth thanks to global warming and increased CO2 is the only thing keeping the organization afloat and they are now intentionally increasing their carbon foot prints in order to stay employed. One DNR pickup truck which is kept running is expected to pay for one full time employee in greater tree growth after only 20,400 hours. They are now actually putting on more people and encouraging them to work overtime just to keep the trucks running.
Why should the DNR website have anything on the supposed climate change? They don’t have anything on Zombies either, so what? It is a total non-issue and has been thoroughly debunked by many credible scientists, which continues to go unreported by the liberal media.
The minimal amount of warming which continues since the last ice age is essentially non-detectable in the average lifespan. If you ever cure yourself of the irrational fear of normal weather and actually do a little research of weather records, you will find that there is nothing odd or unusual occurring which hasn’t been observed in the past.
The value of science is supposedly to cure our fear of the natural world by understanding how it works. The name of science has now been corrupted in order to profit from fear, and the fear mongers prey on the weak minded who want to appear intellectual. The emperor has no clothes
@Anon1 - very creative
The planet is burning up and the DNR doesn’t care!
They don’t care because they want the planet to burn!
They want it to burn so they can run around and pretend to put out the fires!
But they don’t really put out the fires!
They make them burn more!
It is an department made up of Pyromaniacs!
They used to put out fires when Smokey Bear was alive, but now they love fires and love to watch them burn!
Smokey Bear used to put out fires right away with nothing more than a shovel and a bucket of water, but now the DNR has a Billion people and trucks and bulldozers and helicopters and airplanes but they can’t put out a simple fire!
Because they don’t want to!
They want to watch fires burn!
They want the planet to burn!
They are sick and must be stopped!
AlGore and the climate models can make them stop!
Make them stop burning the planet and listen o AlGore and the climate models!
The DNR is a bunch of Satanic fire worshipers and want the planet to burn!
That’s why they killed Smokey Bear!
And won’t put out fires!
And won’t stop the planet from burning up from combustible carbon dioxide!
They want to have fires so they can make more money!
Because Scott Walker took their money away!
And now they want fires to make money!
Make money and watch the satanic flames!
Bastards!!!!
@Algore- oh God - not another rant? Spare us please.
@ANON2: here we go again- regardless of where you are on global warming or climate change- do you think it is right to keep spewing filth into our water and air? DO YA? HUH?
Please understand that no one is advocating polluting the air and water. The issue is whether the climate is changing in a negative and dangerous way and if this is caused by human action and therefore can also be manipulated by human action.
Most climate change alarmists know no more about the issue other than watching the Al Gore movie “inconvenient truth”, which is so full of errors as to be comical. The climategate scandal of a few years ago clearly shows that there is a group of people purposely manipulating data to achieve desired results to “hide the decline”.
If you think the world is ending because of a few warm days, look back to history and the dust bowl days, and the “extreme weather” events of the past; there is simply nothing new under the sun.
"e DNR has finally realized that milder temperatures and higher CO2 levels increase plant growth"
Bzzt. WRONG.
Ask any botanist about Liebig's Law of the Minimum. Plant growth depends on one of a large number of possible limiting factors:
Water.
Sunlight.
Phosphorus.
Nitrogen.
Pottasium.
CO2.
Boron.
One of these factors, always one. And when you want to speed up the growth of a plant, you need to know which one it is, because adding more phosphorus will do nothing when the plant needs potash.
And guess what: scientists have scoured the entire planet in search of plant species and environments where CO2 is the limiting factor. They have found very few. In fact, using genetic engineering to produce such plants is a major undertaking by several outfits.
SO if the DNR actually thinks this is even remotely true, then the DNR is run by clowns.
*sigh*
This is why scientists and engineers are starting to utterly loathe republicans.
“In fact, CO2 levels are below the optimum levels for most plants, and there are persuasive arguments that the mild warming and increased agricultural yields from doubling CO2 will be an overall benefit for humanity.”

To put it mildly, that's a load of crap. Notice that none of the 3 signers of that letter have any education in biology.
Meth Man is back with a fresh load of exclamation points and capital letters. His eyes are burning planets so that is all he sees. Thanks for being yourself, Meth Man, and for continuing to demonstrate how unhinged you climate change deniers are.
