Celebrations over the supposed felling of the world's oldest tree have been halted following the news that the wretched thing is still standing after 5,800 years!
Nearly 6 millenia of hogging the Peruvian rain forest, sucking up all the goodness in the soil for a huge area, thus stunting the growth of other trees that have every bit as much right to flourish as this apallingly parasitic manifestaion.
What a complete waste of timber! - in a resource hungry world this huge past-its-sell-by-date giant could have provided enough cocktail sticks to keep the world amply supplied for the forseeable future - instead of which, it continues to leech the planet's nutrients and hinder progress!
*This* is what happens when we allow 'enviromentalists' and 'friends of the earth' to put trees above people!
What about 'friends of timber products?', you might justly enquire - why do their voices remain unheard?
Let's hope that common sense prevails, and that this monstrosity is not allowed to hinder Peru's economic development for another 6,000 years!
