There are around 100,000,000 or more people in the United States who are opposed to immigrants. By doing stupid things like this, they are creating the conditions for a scenario in which over 200,000,000 immigrants may attempt to enter the United States, and when a group of people this size tries to get in, you can't really do anything to stop it.
Word definition (Work in progress):
Motorfrack
Plural: Motorfracker, motorfracking
Expletive (minced oath) used to target people with motor vehicles who don't care about the environment, and go out of their way to harm the Earth using motored devices and vehicles by means of oil.
Combination of motor vehicle and fracking/fracker, meant to sound similar to the expletive word "motherfucker"

Looks like Wonder Valley Utah is getting a leg up on its Alberta twin.

The tax incentives they're offering are pretty incredible.

And #military #invasions (#war suggests that the combatants all want to fight) are adding to #emissions.

I want to explicitly state that #Ukraine destruction of #Russia's #oil #infrastructure is a /good/ thing. The stored oil would have been burned eventually anyway, and destroying the capacity to refine and transport oil disrupts the system.

When the resulting shortages become the new default, people will make do or do without.

Wood harvesting and forest management are depleting carbon storage. Old-growth forests in Sweden store ~72% more carbon than the industrial tree plantations that are rapidly replacing them, with soil accounting for most of the difference.

The top meter of soils in lowland primary forests contained roughly 64% of total C on average.
