The story may bring to mind serious issues brought up on a couple of my other blogs where I have brought readers attention to the works notably by Jared Diamond and J-M Jancovici.
This short story goes like this:
A lumber-jack comes to our well forested locality La Nièvre in France looking for a job.
The recruiter asks, "Well sir what are your references, for example, where did you work before?
The Lumber-jack replies, "In the Sahara".
The recruiter exclaims: In the Sahara desert!" There are no trees in the Sahara".
The lumber-jack: "That's right sir, that's because I was there before".
