Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Why people link to a paywalled article in the first place boggles my mind. You're not sharing information, you're just advertising the paper for free.

Just wondering, what makes a forest a national forest and does this include trees in national parks or are they protected?
Safe to say, nothing's protected from this admin
Cutting down old growth Forrest take 50 years to repair the area after its stopped. What a mess.

Then i guess it's time to start living up to the old namesake.
What is it?
George Washington Hayduke is one of the four main characters in The Monkeywrench Gang written by Edward Abbey. They're a group of anarchists that destroy things like earth movers to prevent logging or drilling, and just generally fuck with private companies profiting off of public lands.
Basically, they're eco-terrorists.
I think half country would cheer for poison ivy right now.
I'd be happy with a half serving of sanity right now. As a treat.
Yeah probably 30% with another 30% saying this has no impact on their daily lives.
30% saying this has no impact on their daily lives.
"The eco-terrorists are just as bad as the Nazis!"
It worries me it could be either 30% we are talking about.

Uhm, why can he just decide this? Not part of his expertise or departement.
Trump doesn't like that the US buys lumber from Canada. He's going to announce 34% tariffs on lumber from Canada in the next few days.

Trump is speedrunning to aim for the lowest biodiversity index in North America.
Maybe if we stop ridiculously subisidising corn everywhere, some that gets thrown away because we have way too much, we could replace a couple dozen sq km of corn fields with more sustainable agroforestry, and thereby massively increase our logging output, instead of yk, cutting down the last wildlife sanctuaries? Not holding my breath tho.

Wait, where's the line where what I say gets me banned again?
In my experience, that line was mostly left over on Reddit.

Is there a list of which forests opened for logging?
I can't find one, I'd like to see a map but I don't expect there is one.
Probably all of them, start with half then charge more to open the second half.
We get 30% of our lumber from Canada. This is the inevitable consequence of shutting our borders to trade via tariffs - if these policies stick around for four years, sure, we may bring some manufacturing home at great immediate cost, but we'll also be bringing home the environmental burdens of manufacturing (the negative externalities) which we've been pushing onto other countries and ignoring for decades. In the meantime, other countries have started to learn how to handle those externalities, like China's big push for solar power. In America, we've got an idiot who is rolling back worker safety, health and environmental protections, the list goes on. So even if these tariffs worked, we're going to be living in a less healthy place, all in the name of jobs...
This has nothing to do with the tariffs; even if those weren't happening Trump would be selling the trees off to his cronies anyway. It's a blatantly corrupt kleptocracy.
It has everything to do with lumber tariffs, it's just the other end of the equation. The forests are the supply, and the tariffs will create the demand.
They are privatizing every single thing.
Nothing to do with Tariffs. They just make the business more juicy for his cronies.
One can make useful items out of wood.
Guillotines, for example…
Gallows are another.
Guillotines are better.

I, for one, would love to see the guy every Christian pretends is the reincarnation of Christ on a crucifix.

The trees can't be harmed if the lorax is armed. You touch his trees, he aims for your knees.
Go go go, Tonya Harding!
Trump has two legs. Just sayin
The Black Knight always triumphs!
It's just a flesh wound!
So just cut one off. Gotcha
Fuck. This kind of shit is why I feel the need for revenge on these people. They're slashing forests and impoverishing the population. It's not enough for them to lose an election. they need to pay
I want my pound of fucking flesh.
