Trump Moves To Open Alaska's Tongass National Forest for Logging

[Old 'N Chill]

Trump shits on the environment, humans and animals at least one more time before his term ends. What a selfish scumbag! Video in link.

During his first term, President Trump has rolled back or weakened more than 100 environmental regulations. On Friday, his administration moved to open up the country’s largest national forest for development. Alaska’s Tongass National Forest has been called “America’s Amazon,” and it absorbs about 8 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

Hoping they go right, we can't afford for them to go wrong.

If the Dems don't take power I doubt we will have to worry about further elections, there will be no USA in 4 years.

I agree.

They opened too much of it for production. I can see opening up a bit of it, the forest is bigger than many countries. It's huge.

Maybe open up a million acres at a time. Then in a decade, close that million and open another.

It's like 17 million acres. It's silly to preserve it in a 100% pristine state.

Lots of folks in California and Oregon wish there'd been a little logging.

It seems that new growth forests, absorbs more CO2 than old growth forest.

Why New Forests Are Better at Sequestering Carbon Than Old Ones

Younger plants are able to extract carbon from the air and incorporate it into their biomass more quickly than mature trees.

Think of the irony, of Trump accidentally making a national forest a better CO2 absorb er!
