    You laugh, but if any nation was able to plan all their decisions that far in the future we wouldn’t be in the middle of a climate crisis. Too bad that specific long-term decision was not the most useful

      Even if it won’t be used for ships, having a supply of good wood is not a bad thing. There’s so many other possible uses for it that it’s basically never a bad idea to plant trees.
