Do you know why greece is so barren? Because in antiquity they chopped all the trees for their navy
2024 cost US 500 billion in hurricane costs. and how to you counter that, plant more trees not cut them down. he is the biggest clown in human history
Has anyone actually done the co2 math and the amount of other gases we have to reverse?
It will blow your mind. Dont look up.
Basically everything we have ever consumed for carbonous goods or fuel sources has to be reversed.
That’s because we are a part of nature and we leave footprints like everything else. Change isn’t bad, in fact it’s a good thing. It’s why things evolve. The problem is the velocity of change is too fast for other parts of our ecosystem to keep up. It’s like catching a ball. Every little bit counts.
And so all that Roosevelt worked for is sentenced to death.
trump… Ensureing America has no future
It’s crazy how republicans are framing cutting down forests as a “good way to prevent arsons”
If a tree falls on him in the forest, would anyone hear him squish? Or care?
People wood care unfortunately.
Time for this guy to get taken out…of office.
I really hope to see him buried soon.
Under massive voter disapproval polls and impeachment proceedings.
To quote local shitstain Mike Davis, who was SUPER TOTALLY JUST JOKING “I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall.” Which, you know, same to you buddy.
It’s cool it’s OK when he says it.
Would be a damn shame if the National Forestry service just started spiking all those trees.
Would be a shame if the millions of people who cherish our national forests, such as outdoors-people, survivalists, veterans and preppers, just decided that they don’t want their woods chopped down.
Sure would be a shame if anything kept happening to that expensive logging equipment over and over.
Just be careful and never cut a hydraulic hose with any of your body parts near the cut. Hydraulic injection injuries look terrible. Similar for large truck tires, those are not like a tiny cybertruck tires, they can blow up and cause injury.
Ha! I took hydraulic fluid to the eye once upon a time. I now wear safety glasses when I do my forklifting.
Ouch! Can you see from that eye?
Life was pretty blurry for a little while🤣
Luckily the hose popped first thing in the morning, so it wasn’t hot yet. In an unrelated matter, WD-40 hurts like a bitch too. Dont stick your eye in that.
What’s the emergency? Climate change isn’t catastrophic enough yet?
It’s so the US can build more vacant houses.
Looks like Tramp called for open season on loggers.
It’s cathartic to imagine, but we all know that even if there are dozens of environmental terrorist activities, that it won’t stop this. Wood is money.
This isn’t going to stop. It’s going to get worse even. We’re not accepting this, we’re still sitting with our thumbs up our asses wondering when it gets “bad enough” that someone comes in and saves the day.
Nobody is coming. Our world is collapsing. If we all realized this and got up and started marching we could at least stop it from getting worse.
Growing up, I watched Star Trek and ST: Next Gen. I always wondered how we could get to a kinder, more tolerant society like theirs. As I learned more about the back story, it turns out that there was a massive nuclear world war in the mid-21st century that did massive damage to the world. The society that Star Trek represents rose from the ashes of that war.
I always hoped we could reach a tolerant society without going through that, but its starting to look remarkably prescient.
it turns out that there was a massive nuclear world war in the mid-21st century that did massive damage to the world.
By the Trek timeline, that war literally starts next year and runs for thirty years. Mankind only starts to pull it’s head out of it’s ass because of first contact with the Vulcans, and that only happens because they happened to have a ship in the system when the guy building the first experimental warp engine takes it on it’s first successful test flight in 2063.
As did I, as well as other science fiction, as well as PBS documentaries and science programs… I was so sure that with all of these hopeful, positive influences and messages going into the world, that the future would be brighter and people would be more caring.
Holy shit I misjudged the way people interpret media. Most of the same people who were promoting peace and love are now threatening to kill other people over vaccinations and skin color.
One other point about the Star Trek universe though, is that in addition to almost dying to war, we also managed to create replicators that ended our scarcity-civilization. There was no more need for money and anyone could basically have whatever they wanted from then on. In our world, if you invented a machine that could solve all our problems and make all humans equal, someone would assassinate you because of it. Maybe many people would.
It used to seem there would be this universe without money or religion, and then we got to DS9, and saw the Bajoran religion, the Ferengi obsession with profit, and the gambling at Quarks.
The contentious, almost impossible dilemmas being portrayed in DS9’s themes were a reflection of the times. By the time we got to DS9, we were on the tail end of a sudden recession, race riots in LA, police brutality coming into sharp focus as more and more people started carrying video cameras, Mike Tyson went from hero to convict for rape, and the world started to shrink and become scarier. The cocaine-fueled optimism of the late 80’s was morphing into the technicolor international stage of the 90’s, increased media exposure was showing a lot of people the darkness we spent decades trying to pretend wasn’t there. Terrorism, plane crashes, wars we saw in full color on the ground, dictatorships rising and falling. We’re still feeling the effects of this reconciliation/confrontation with our actual history and social norms.
And oil exploration, and real estate development, and golf courses, and casinos, and…
Does anyone know if this will affect Yellowstone national park? I’ve always wanted to go there and Imma be extra pissed if he destroys that reserve.
National Forests and National Parks are different things and are managed by different departments.
National Parks (like Yellowstone) are managed by the National Parks Service and we’re put aside for conservation and public access. They are protected in perpetuity. As much of a shit head Trump is and as terrible as the Republicans are, I don’t think they could actually open these up.
Meanwhile, National Forests are managed by the Department of Agriculture. They were specifically put aside to be public land and to protect the US lumber industry. The rules have been slowly opened up to allow private purchase (for individuals and ranches) and different types of resource gathering (mostly fishing and ore mining, with some oil mining).
I think a lot of people in this thread are mixing up the two as well. National Forests are specifically used for resource gathering and more resource gathering isn’t out of the ordinary for these parks.
Ok I didn’t know that, thank you for the education.
Yellowstone is due to destroy itself any day now. It is an active supervolcano.

You are stupid.
It’s okay, I don’t mean that as an attack. I mean it as a challenge. Educate yourself and read actual science.
You are an asshole.
Good thing I don’t have to tolerate you. Goodbye.
In geologic scale? That is true. In human scale? It is extremely unlikely in thousands of years.
Nuh
On the other hand. This has been said for decades.
Not even, there was a discovery channel documentary a number of years ago and it’s been constant hype and bullshit about a made-up crisis ever since. If you’re still taking TLC and discovery channel programming as science at this point, you’re unsavable.

Supervolcano was co-produced by the BBC
The reason for the interest was
The upward movement of the Yellowstone caldera floor between 2004 and 2008—almost 75 millimetres (3.0 in) each year—was more than three times greater than ever observed since such measurements began in 1923
That’s still 2005, not “decades” ago, and it’s still a hype piece that’s been capitalized on by every other network because fear sells, excitement sells, disaster movies sell.
No serious geologist believes that there’s going to be a Yellowstone supervolcano, maybe ever because shit don’t necessarily work that way. The magma chamber is almost 80% solidified, and we’re talking 10,000 kilometers of rock. The worst case, we will see pressure vents forming and spewing ash, but likely not even THAT in our lifetime.
Hey! I learned a lot about Mermaids from those documentaries. You cant find that kind of fact-based research in the Mainstream Media. Liberals hate Mermaids, and they aren’t real big on Unicorns, either.
the map shows the northwest will be more concern, all that redwood forests,
I’m worried about the Redwoods too, but for some reason I was thinking Yellowstone was in Washington State, now I feel dumb.
It’s an emergency!! We need lumber for… Things. Quick!
Shipping it to Gaza to build his casinos, resorts and condos for his Russian buddies. Israel is just about done genociding so the shipments have to start soon.
The Gaza Riviera.
I wouldn’t go anywhere near it. Those luxury condos, resorts, hotels, and casinos that Kushner has been negotiating for since immediately after Oct 7, are going to be prime targets for terrorism for YEARS, and I won’t be sorry about it at all.
The entire region is going to be a heavily militarized zone. That’s a fun vacation.
Guaranteed way to speed up climate change
Well it is an Emergency, we gotta hustle
