Yes, this means a ton of carbon ends up in the atmosphere instead of in the trees. The right move would be thinning and prescribed burns, but this administration isn’t going to do that.

        The 2nd amendment is part of the Bill of rights which he already trampled multiple times. There is no right to bear arms anymore, they just haven’t had a reason to round anyone who uses them up yet.

      There isn’t much purpose for congress anymore. Biden was doing the same thing. I think we should just do away with presidents, only have the House and the Senate. If nothing else, stop allowing the presidents to use executive orders. They really aren’t legal the way they are used.

        Any solution that stops short of essentially a factory reset (really should go further tbh) is going to land us here again
