About
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...

How can conservatives be okay with that? What's even the need?
Conservative stopped being about conservation before they were ever related. Some conservatives of yesteryear were conservationists, but most were merely at the smallest, most local of levels.

Everything else aside... What the fuck is so urgent about cutting down forests that you need a emergency order to green-light it?
The MDF furniture must flow
Perhaps to mitigate the repercussions from tariffs on lumber from Canada. We saw a bailout for farmers impacted by his previous tariffs, the administration may actually believe the national forests can save Trump from the consequences of his actions.
Almost like they're fully comforatble with reckless corruption.
They are fully comfortable with reckless profits. Corruption is just the price to pay.
Nothing. The "emergency order" is entirely so he doesn't have to go through Congress to do it.
“I can do anything I want if it’s an emergency!”
Dang i wonder if we can find example of emergency powers eroding democracy in the past now...

Christ - that’s quite the logging order you’ve got there… this is an environmental disaster - just to reduce Canadian imports!?
This is the exact same tactic this regime will use on the 20th of April to declare martial law. I’m really curious how long it took the Germans in the late 1930’s to call it what it was.
This is a coup d’etat. Lots of people will die. The regime - even if DJT dies or gets shot - will go on. There won’t be any more fair elections. I hope these protests go from 5 million to 10 million on Saturday, because only a mass movement can stop this.
Why that date specifically?
*mass armed movement they don't care if 100 million person manifest if they fear nothing after that and no they don't need a reason for martial law still gonna happen with only peaceful protest
I thought when talking about the USA the arms and violence is implied. Though, historically it is curious how the French with a notorious lack of weapons wreak more havoc than them 2nd amendment folks.

In 200 years people will ask in disbelief why such old forests were logged down.
That’s if the planet survives till then, which at the rate things are going no way we make it that long
The planet will be just fine. I'd wager that life will continue, the earth will still be filled with living creatures for a long time to come.
It just won't include us. Or most of the things we care about.

The planet will survive. Humans may not survive, but I'm no longer so sure that's a bad thing...

Turning the US into Isengard. Nice
Why do you think that company is called Palantir lmao. I wish I wasn't joking, but it is this stupid if you poke around a bit at the neoreactionary obsessions with LOTR.
