Regarding the Scottish reforestation plan, here's a quote from the Nat'l Geo article:

"Climatic conditions like the "Little Ice Age," which occurred between 1320 and 1750, brought low summer temperatures, high rainfall, and ferocious winds to the Scottish Highlands. These conditions encouraged the formation of peaty moorland at the expense of trees."

And here's a quote from "All About Scotch Whisky" at Tastings.com:

"Scotch Whisky Regions"

"The Highlands consist of the portion of Scotland north of a line from Dundee on the North Sea coast in the east to Greenock on the Irish Sea in the west, including all of the islands off the mainland except for Islay. Highland malt whiskies cover a broad spectrum of styles. They are generally aromatic, smooth and medium bodied, with palates that range from lushly complex to floral delicacy. The subregions of the Highlands include Speyside; the North, East and West Highlands; the Orkney Isles; and the Western Islands (Arran, Jura, Mull, and Skye)."

This is an outrage! They want to plant a buch of stupid trees for people to walk around in at the expense of some of the best, highest quality whisky-producing areas in the world?! Looks like we're going to need another Whiskey rebellion!

Screw the golden eagles, anyway...they're not even bald eagles, and certainly not people who appreciate the finer things in life! Bunch of poofters.
