It is very impressive to see the result of tornadoes, forest fires and forestry.
Note that even though the source data has a resolution of 30m², the accuracy is much less than that in practice, as some fields might be picked up as trees and other issues.
For some reason this reminds me of this George Carlin skit. You might have seen it before. "The Earth is Fine. The People are Fucked."
This is really interesting. I've heard that we are actually reforesting for the most part here in America while areas like the Amazon are still deforesting but it's nice to see it visualized. I think one thing that is misleading about this image though is that I know intuitively that the forests of Appalachia and the East coast don't have as much lumber per sq/ft as the western US. While in this image it makes you think that all forests are created equally. I'd like to see it weighted by lumber/sqft or equivalent amount of CO_2 captured per yr.
