So trump is now aspiring to be like this guy? How vile and evil. I am 100 percent against deforestation and evil acts like it.

Trees grow back, Fluffy.
Deforestation is solved, everyone. They grow back.

... although, trees are notorious for growing back kinda slowly. So if there's a logging operation that goes at a speed faster than one guy with a handsaw, there will in fact be less woodland after they start cutting down the woodlands.

... also, they won't grow back if the land gets used for anything else, which it tends to do unless it has protections like the ones that just got removed.

... also, probably not going to grow back to how they were before, even in the long term, because ecosystems have a limited ability to handle change and cutting down large swathes of habitat is kind of a big change.

but other than that, yeah, solved. So glad there's a simple easily digestible answer to everything. Wait until the Amazon rainforest gang hear about this one weird trick.
 
Trump supporters are going to find some stupid way to spin this. Fucking forbit they see anything wrong with what Dump is doing

How does it feel to be so predictable? Literally take a moment and think. Do you know how long it takes a tree to grow?

I can’t imagine you are stupid enough to not realize how much of a problem Trump is about to cause just because.
Of course, it’s pretty obvious that you are going to go with the stupid line of thinking because Trump good and you have very little thinking power
 
funny how revolt now seems to be illegal (and the US isn't part of the roman charter which protects citizens from persecution at the international level, make you think if the US was going down the authoritarian road even before trump

Then just plant two trees if you cut down one. Simple.

So, we'll be needing this land to have its protections reinstated if you want to do that, or those trees aren't going to grow back because someone's built a road or using it for farmland.

Actually, we'll need to massively expand those protections and the size of the parks, because if you want to plant twice as many trees... you're going to need more space. There's a limit to how densely you can pack trees together, certainly if we want them to actually grow rather than as a greenwashing stunt.

I'll skip the ecosystem argument for now and just assume the woodland can grow back just as well as before, and fast too. New woodland sounds good though.

So, it's all fine, so long as Trump suddenly does a u-turn and does the opposite of what is currently happening. I'm sure he just forgot about expanding the parks to fit twice as many trees in them, he'll get right on that as soon as he's done removing protections for the park I'm sure.

Guy, it's going to be oil, industrial, and manufacturing companies buying up these lands. You think they give a fuck about preserving even a single square inch of nature? What planet are you from?

He's from the planet of being literally brainless.

Or he's a troll.

Both are equally bad.
 
Right-wingers don't give two shits about preserving wildlife or land. They'd be perfectly happy living in cramped cubicle apartments like in The Fifth Element, and see nothing wrong with it.
Don't hippy lefties push to live in pods and eat bugs cus it would be better for the environment? Lmao. Projecting.

 
That clip is not about any environmental reasons, it's about republican-generated lack of affordable housing. Did you even watch it?
Japan has been offering pods for a while now, are they all tree huggers then.
Also, you clearly don't know what "projecting" means.
