Huh losers. Deforestation is an indicator of a growing economy. China is collapsing

Better to chop them all down and make half of it a golf course and the other half an AI data center.

Altering the climate in any way except through recreational tire fires is communism!

Removing those trees in the first place changed the water cycle too.

At what cost???

Riiiiight, because desertification never dries out anything.

China could find the cure for cancer and Westerners would still find a way to call Xi Jinping evil because of it.

Unlike me, I just cut down all the trees. That surely has no consequences whatsoever he he he he

You know even if there was an underlying adverse ecological impact, the cool thing about planting too many trees is you can just cut them down again WAYYY easier than if you needed to plant another forest.

I know which problem I'd rather have is all I'm saying.

But

The water changed place, what an irremediable tragedy, everybody knows there's no way to transport water

using water for trees to capture carbon and create natural habitats for wildlife

using water for cooling AI data centers because air conditioning costs a lil more

who will stand up to the sino-conifer menace?

i will not be breathing the chinese air. i’ll accept chinese plastics in my blood stream if american corporations profit off it but how are they gonna make any money off some trees in china that aren’t even being planted just to be harvested like all the trees in america are?

Think of all the Pokémon cards those could become

oh no, ebil seeseepee caught planting too much trees

The Chinese are raising an army of communist ents to wage war against the west. This is why we should launch a pre-emptive invasion and firebombing campaign.
