FEMA to cut down 82,000 trees and soak the area in 700 gallons of roundup

Is this for real?

1) Glyphosate is not a pre-emergent control. It only kills living plants, not seeds. This is why you have to keep using the stuff repeatedly.

2) Wouldn't dried up wood chips pose a greater fire hazard?

 

I can only assume that this is a test of process to gauge public response. It makes no sense to douse wood chips in Roundup as a fire mitigation plan.

 

Most people in Berkeley & Oakland do not even know this is going on. I have been making calls and writing letters about it to warn people since the roundup WILL go into the Berkeley watershed & into the bay. Sadly, according to news articles from the SF Guardian that SF Bay is already pretty much dead which is a shame because it used to be a nursery (the whole bay) for marine mammals.

 

Oh & BTW, this land in question is near the nuclear & other dangerous labs. I can only figure that this is the pre-game behind the game. Why devalue the land and make it unsuitable for life unless you are going to use it for new buildings down the road? That's my theory anyway.
