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.

      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

      it’s happening to native lands in the US while we speak, the fact you are not even aware earns the ‘lol’
