Trump and the Environment

[birdman]

This time, the fight over the Tongass logging should focus on Salmon and Fisheries stocks, not over spotted owls. Fishing is a big industry, and logging in those forests will likely cause runoff and siltation which negatively affects salmon/trout and other anadromous fish species which will depress the already stressed fishing industries of south east Alaska and Western Canada.

Exactly. People like fish. They DGAF about birds.

Irresponsible assholes.

People like to eat salmon. And chicken and turkey.

But not spotted owls.

It’s almost like a contest to see how quickly can we fuck our environment. To screw the future to enrich the present few.


Like someone looks at whatever science-based environmentalists advocate as an inverse road map forward.


Thx Pubs.

Glad someone (NYT) is keeping track.

But I thought all Republicans were dedicated states rights advocates who firmly opposed federal intervention into states rights! Wait, it's the "Socialist Republic of California" that's doing this? Will it piss off liberals if the feds overturn it? Then by all means go ahead, Mr. Trump! Own those libs!

Well, as long as it’s only feet that are suffering...

NOAA employees threatened with termination if they disseminate accurate information that contradicts the president.

I wonder if they can sue for wrongful termination. That would be GREAT!!!

Maybe, but it would be even greater if they weren't fired in the first place.

 

[RJKarl]

Of course.....

I get a feeling he could disparage his own audience, and they'd still applause.
