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.

I agree with everything you said… except the ableist slur. I have worked with special needs people and they can be some of the sweetest, most genuine, hardest-working people you’ll meet! Please ditch the outdated term, we need to be better than that…
I’d be interested to understand more about why you find this usage of the word “retarded” offensive. I sometimes use the word as a synonym for “stupid” or “idiotic”, but would never use the term to refer to a person with a developmental disability. I’m curious if your experience is different. Do you feel the word should be eliminated from usage entirely?

And just in case you’re asking in good faith, I don’t “find” it offensive, it’s a slur. I can’t go up to my white friend, call him the n-word and say “I use it for someone who doesn’t use turn signals.” Words have meaning based on how society uses them collectively, not your individual opinion.
