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.

Trump doesn’t like that the US buys lumber from Canada. He’s going to announce 34% tariffs on lumber from Canada in the next few days.
Other than the Pacific northwest most U.S. forest trees do not make good building lumber.
The rest is an assault on the natural world.
In addition to the blanket tariffs already announced? Seriously I think that guy might be an evil alien supervillain or something. He seems to be doing his best to ruin the world in any way he can.
I honestly would prefer that. I don’t want to think of Trump as a member of the human race. Plus, it would imply that the bad guys are actually competent. The Trump Regime isn’t just evil, it is weaponized secondhand embarrassment.

He’s out to cripple Canada’s economy, then he’ll attempt to invade it. True evil.
