Yes, this means a ton of carbon ends up in the atmosphere instead of in the trees. The right move would be thinning and prescribed burns, but this administration isn’t going to do that.

      Moot, pointless, argument.

      This argument accomplishes what exactly? Aside from trying to just stir the pot or create culture war drama?

      It’s okay for public lands to be raped and razed now? Because (like damn near all the land in the world, everywhere) was taken during war/conflict?

          Our native Americans the only ones who are allowed to be concerned about the country it’s land and the environment?

          Your argument and point again only serves to further the culture war aspect of this and does nothing to address the problem at hand.

        the original comment was about ‘we’re being stolen from’ seems pretty relevant but I get how white America doesn’t want to think about it

            No one asked for yours anyway.
            And are you mislabeling it as ‘small minded’ bcs it’s directly confronting your hypocrisy?

                Oh you’re from the country that’s clearly in the same boat.
                Or the bigger boat since you plundered a lot more.

                  I too predicate my responses on baseless assumptions about others. I’d explain how your comment doesn’t apply in the slightest, but there’s no use conversing with those who don’t care if their responses are based on reality, simply that they sound “hard truthy”. They’ll just make more things up!

            How many cared when it was decided there would be an oil pipeline through the pittance they were relegated to? More land stolen, and everything around it polluted in time to add insult to injury.

            Did you care then, just a few years ago?

                Not near enough to actually change a damn thing though, was it?

                I mean shit, the company responsible is now trying to take down Greenpeace -the entire entity- in court over the whole affair, it is that confident in how fucked the US judicial system is.

                They got to choose where to hold a trial with global ramifications, and tainted the entire possible jury pool by restricting it to some poxy little oil town that would cease to exist if not for the oil industry.

                How many of you turned out to protest that?

                that’s better than nothing but that’s self interest and farmers were right to be worried

                none of that changes anything on a national level nor changed the actual outcome so the criticism is still valid

              We didn’t export criminals.
              And besides the point, it’s about admitting it happened.
              Which is very difficult for Americans looking at the angry reactions.

        The point is that you admit your wrongs.
        As they clearly can’t and get very defensive, as hypocrites do.
