This could be a photo of anything and the caption would still be true.
Trees planted in a line with clear cuts in the distance…
Looks like corporate profits to me.
tbh its the only type of forest left to take pictures of
Yep. A tree farm that doesn’t support any important ecosystem but does support profits.
Yeah the planet got destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders
No they didn’t. Sure, the people who made that decision are human, but “humans” implies it was a collective decision. You and I had no say in it. There are like 100 people in the world who make all the decisions. They’re the ones benefiting from the destruction of the earth, and they’re the ones responsible. We weren’t given a vote.
More like, they boofed coke out of strippers assholes on private jets and decided to keep doing that. I’m sure they think trees are fine.
I don’t usually like snarky dismissive comments, but.

Stop using wood furniture. Don’t live in wooden houses and make sure to demand a plastic straw next time you have a burger and there will be less profits.
Hi there, I’m just wondering does Shell pay well? I was thinking of moving over to them after the Soros and Koch checks dry up post election.
No, not really. But you can feel good about saving trees. You also get an xmas allowance of assorted seabirds dipped in crude oil that makes for a very cozy fire place.
They aren’t still alive though right? I’m sure I could sell them on eBay or something. Oh well, at least Coca Cola is always paying.
Really? I think a pretty healthy portion of the land above the 30th parallel until the Arctic circle looks something like this
Until it’s profitable to ruin it
Not for long. It’s going to burn.
More they found a better spot somewhere else, so the destruction of this spot doesn’t impact them
To be fair, we deluded ourselves into thinking we were the special ones that all this was created for, and deities wouldn’t let it be ruined unless we displeased them. There’s still a lot of people who believe that. And as late as the 1990s it was easy for a normal person to think the scientists were just being dramatic.
Of course now with a top ten heat year, every year, for the last several years, and breaking the record for half of them, it’s easy to look back and be harsh.
Leadership should have been more responsible. But they’re just normal people too. The decision was truly made by the oil corporations whose own studies told them this was happening. And they spent billions over the decades to fund denialism.
And as late as the 1990s it was easy for a normal person to think the scientists were just being dramatic.
As late as yesterday, you mean.
Nah. By now you have to be willfully ignorant.
Or be majorly exposed to alternate reasoning… or many other reasons…
Some goblin that looks like mark Davis standing above it all:
“Look at all these unrealized profit opportunities!”
