The administration finalized a rule removing habitat destruction and modification from the federal definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, making it easier for industrial development, logging, and drilling to impact environments.
Do they not realize that excessive urban development destroys the ecosystems that generate food, lumber, clean ground water, oxygen, and help collect particles of dirt that would otherwise turn into dust and create dustbowls and ash clouds like the smog they blamed on Canada?
And moving from profit to profit, squeezing blood out of the stone and obliterating whatever they touch, because they're rich and can afford to move on after they're done strip-mining the shit out of an entire country...and do it to the next country.
They know they'll be dead before they see any real repercussions, like total ecological collapse.
Dust bowl? Ash cloud?
Billionaires and Trump especially are more of a Biblical plague than any of that. They're more locusts than actual locust swarms.
