Millions of acres of national forest are targeted for logging under an emergency order from the Trump administration

Everything else aside... What the fuck is so urgent about cutting down forests that you need a emergency order to green-light it?

In 200 years people will ask in disbelief why such old forests were logged down.

I love that this map still has the Gulf of Mexico.

I hate that this will be done to our national forests. They're a natural treasure and should be protected for so many reasons.

It was nice to have a planet while it lasted, I guess.

Once again, we find out most of the past presidents just obeyed decorum and norms... Did no one consider that a bad-faith president would just say, "uh...'EMERGENCY!' " then he's allowed to bypass Congress and just do whatever the fuck he wants!?

"Emergency orders" designed to protect this country in case we're attacked are being used by presidents to sidestep the constitutional as it regards separation of powers. It's about time this shit came to an end also.

Remember: a can of expanding foam can disable most any vehicle when sprayed in the right places.

Fuck, some of that will be last remaining old growth, forever lost

Not happy with destroying our society anymore. Now they have to physically destroy our country.

This is what happens when you allow conservatives to have control.

I'd ask Americans to make better decisions going forward, but we all know that isn't happening.

RIP.

It's an emergency!! We need lumber for... Things. Quick!

What’s the emergency? Climate change isn’t catastrophic enough yet?

“I think that I now understand what he is up to. He is plotting to become a Power. He Has a Mind of Metal and Wheels; and He Does Not Care For Growing Things.”

“Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom.”

do you remember when in minecraft you chopped down a forest for wood and didn't replant it? remember how you had to go to triple the distance to find another one, wasting even more time?

This motherfucker wants to clear cut the boundary waters. All these special areas destroyed because they're not a beach side golf course or some tacky casino.

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.

since Canadian lumber has a tariff making it so expensive now they will chop down the US forests for the value of lumber is high

And oil exploration, and real estate development, and golf courses, and casinos, and...

Oh it looks like the area I hunt is in there. Damnit it was getting nice finally from when it was planted decades ago. Second generation trees are getting good sized.

Guaranteed way to speed up climate change

What do they claim the emergency is?

I was just in a national park and thinking to myself "damn, this place has too many trees! We should really cut a bunch down to make room for a Wal-Mart."

Hypothetically, would literal tree-hugging (i.e. chaining myself to a tree) be an effective method of protest and prevention? Would the loggers cut me down anyways? Just a random thought.

Time for this guy to get taken out....of office.

Does anyone know if this will affect Yellowstone national park? I've always wanted to go there and Imma be extra pissed if he destroys that reserve.

Looks like Tramp called for open season on loggers.

Would be a damn shame if the National Forestry service just started spiking all those trees.

trump.... Ensureing America has no future

It’s crazy how republicans are framing cutting down forests as a “good way to prevent arsons”

If a tree falls on him in the forest, would anyone hear him squish? Or care?

Guns don't need wood parts anymore. I believe billionaire biomaterials work better? I'd say some testing is on order. We need some billionaires. I believe the bones are probably the sturdiest parts. And their teeth have gold.

Bunch of unpatriotic freeloading trees and animals. About time we have a president that puts them in their place. They’re ripping us off!

Has anyone actually done the co2 math and the amount of other gases we have to reverse?

It will blow your mind. Dont look up.

Basically everything we have ever consumed for carbonous goods or fuel sources has to be reversed.

How can conservatives be okay with that? What's even the need?

See ya, redwood forests!

2024 cost US 500 billion in hurricane costs. and how to you counter that, plant more trees not cut them down. he is the biggest clown in human history
