I agree.

The part I don't trust is who is trying to obtain power from it and why.

It boils down to power and money.

Much like anything else..

I'm big on people practicing what they preach..

When I see climate alarmists quit flying private, buying houses on the beach and driving gas guzzlers I'll take them serious.

Frankly, I’m much less concerned about the atmosphere than I am out our water supply. While I am incredibly lucky to live in a place with an abundance of water very few places do. What I see happening on the west coast of the US with water and the battle between food production and other human uses is just the start of the problems on our content and other parts of the world are already in more critical situations.

A kid I went to HS with got a degree in Geology and Environmental Sciences told me water is where it's at. Our natural resources won't keep pace with our growing population.

People with vagitosis will say "you just hate people of color"

No..I have more dark friends than the the people that make that *s-word up...but..you know how that goes..

Exactly super hypocritical folks most of them.

My great nephew bought this *s-word View attachment 412269
225.00 for a beat up tree service saw and it's a assisted starter bastard
Over the year's I gave him and his mom 2 028s a woodboss and super a jonsereds 920 a 372 and a 170
He said this thing doesn't run right
I said get used to it that saw is for elderly people to run.

Can I ask why you have to get it down?

Really doesn’t look like a lot of fun but I bet the tree guys will have some good ideas. If it was mine to have to cut down I’d try to get some kind of a hold back on the uprooted one with some come alongs and cable so I could cut the stump free. Then let back on the hold back to let but to ground and use a tractor hooked to the cable to pull it out of the other tree. But not being right there looking at it is hard, I also would probably call my tree service buddy to come assess it for me.

It is in a location where we walk, and don't like uncertainty when I can prevent it. I would rather take it down than it cause dominoes as that area gets quite wet during the rainy season. And one down controlled, is much better than two in a tangled mess. I really don't like to cut live trees. Open to any suggestion.

It is right along a seasonal stream, and tractors can get pretty stuck down in my valley. If there was a place to pull it sideways off the other tree, so if it fell it would maintain the same pull line length, I would. But it is an uphill young pine forest in that direction. I can take more pictures if a view is needed.

Path we use is in the path of the leaner.

Call a pro
And I don’t mean one that is at your favorite rest area

Thought you did all the time anyway

Plain and simple
Don’t walk there

Some of us don't spend all day on the couch. I will walk there, the tree will come down. Just checking to see if anyone had some ideas I hadn't thought of.

Also, there are no pros in my easy chair, as that is my favorite rest area.

No climbing experience I assume?

None, and I am too old to start now. Not sure I would want to get up in either tree as they are. There were twin oaks with about a 15 degree V, and roots entangled. One went down, and uprooted the other. I can just imagine how much pressure is on that limb right now, so wouldn't want to be anywhere in it to cut that limb. And the leaner might go any time, so wouldn't want to clime it to take it down from the top. Also, no way to get a bucket truck close, ground is too soft.
