100 acres of trees blew down in Colorado form a Micro burst. The Forest Service went in to work on the problem but the Sierra club sued to stop them. Pine Beetles left is such large quantities that they were picked up on Radar. There are over 300,000 acres of dead trees now and increasing. Thank you liberals.

The Occam’s Razor version is that we ship all our dirty coal and tar sands oil to the ChiComs, who burn it in basically open air pits with nary a scrubber in sight.
Oh, I forgot...only CO2 emanating from sources between the
Rio Grande and the 49th. Parallel has an impact on global temperatures.
Very interesting take. Thank you for posting.
This is so well written, it is an excellent and clearly understandable explanation of a fundamental aspect of conservative thought. Unfortunately, there are too few explanations out there of the many damaging policies and movements that threaten us. The logic in this essay could be readily applied to taxation policy, education policy, “affordable housing” policy, and too many other big gov’t policies. I note that the bad guys in these articles fall into three groups, power hungry environmental organizations, greedy business organizations, and lazy/weak/shortsighted leaders of the poor. It says a lot about human nature.
In the 1960s, a similar understanding emerged regarding public housing policy in the US. However, the general population is no wiser about this than they were in the 1960s. Despite successes in welfare policy reforms in the 1990s, post-2008 gov’t policy has raced to return to pre-reform welfare degradation of the living conditions of the poor. The poor dance in celebration of the short-term handouts while the children grow up in a less hopeful society.
Underlying this essay is the logic of system dynamics which is hard to explain to people. However, it is a great way to understand how these systems work to hurt people.

The concept of a billionaire being passionate about helping the environment seems incongruous, unless he happens to live in a yurt, gathers his own food from the land, and walks or rides a bike.
