Malice, even

“The figure for trees felled for wind farm development on Scotland’s forests and land, as managed by FLS, over the past 20 years is 13.9m. However, it should be noted these trees – being a commercial crop – will eventually have been felled and passed into the timber supply chain in any case.

“That figure for felled trees should also be contrasted with that for the number of trees planted in Scotland over the years 2000-2019, a total of 272,000,000, and renewable energy developments fit well with this.

“To date, the amount of woodland removed across Scotland’s national forests and land, managed by FLS, for wind farm development is not even one per cent of the total woodland area.”

Weird that Scotland always gets the most scrutiny despite being the part of the UK with the most forest cover and ambitious energy sustainability goals.

It’s almost like they write attention-grabbing headlines and cherrypick scary statistics completely out of context

Doom clickbait. The article even states that in the same time period 272 million trees were planted.

Also the site is owned by American with massive media holdings so…
