To Republicans, the environment is a commodity to be bought and sold

....please give examples/go into detail on where fire is neededso humans shouldn't live in homes???--you live in a home, don't you?there have been fires on the Earth for centuries !!!!!!!Really? When I was a kid, there were few worries over eating fish out of farm ponds....today, you only eat fish out of those ponds if you are looking to get some form of cancer...
And the problems with land use are legion...how about places like miami that are sinking because so much concrete is being poured there...fires blazing out of control over hundreds of thousands of acres because of liberal policy banning practices that would clear underbrush...and on and on...
Volcanoes spewing all kinds of crap into the air
etc
Of course there have been fires...but in nature, fires tend to burn themselves out...reducing underbrush such that when fires happen again, there isn't enough fuel on the ground to generate enough heat to actually burn the tops of the trees. Liberal policies that prevent clearing underbrush...and building homes in areas where fire is part of the natural ecology and as a result, putting out the fires to protect homes which allows more fuel to form in the form of underbrush results in fires of a sort that were never seen in nature.
it is all related to land use.
...now we have to get the OK on where to build homes???!!
My home is not built on a flood plain...or a fault line, or in a local where fire is an integral part of the ecology, or on a beach...and if it were...I would expect the sorts of disasters which happen to people who build their homes in such areas...
“Do Republicans care as much for the environment as Democrats do?”
Clearly this is rhetorical.
So I was watching some news show and there was a Republican on there who I never saw before and he acted offended and said that Republicans care just as much for the environment as Democrats do.
Is that true?
I find it very hard to believe.
Post is a ignorant hasty generalization fallacy.Republicans couldn't care less about the environment, save to exploit and destroy it.
the trees and earth are fine.....please see the before and after St Helens pictures....please give examples/go into detail on where fire is neededso humans shouldn't live in homes???--you live in a home, don't you?there have been fires on the Earth for centuries !!!!!!!

I am short on time right now so I will only give you one example...I will provide more later if you are unable to look the information up yourself under the heading of "fire ecology"...one of the problems of being an environmentalist rather than a conservationist...conservationists actually take the time to learn something about nature.
Lodge pole pines....fire has been such an internal part of their environment that they actually require fire in order for their seeds to germinate...soil conditions after a fire are ideal for seedling growth and as a result, the cones they produce are covered with a hard waxy substance that must be melted off in order for seeds to disperse and germinate...

Neither party gives a shit about the environment. As usual your posts are illogical and nonsensical.So I was watching some news show and there was a Republican on there who I never saw before and he acted offended and said that Republicans care just as much for the environment as Democrats do.
