You aren’t actually supposed to prevent forest fires though, hence why Canada switched the bear for this twink:
Congrats on the baby, smokey
That’s a risky congrats. Maybe she really likes beer and cake.
She’s carrying high.
Hot.
Smokey is not a mascot of the National Park Service, but the Forest Service, which is under the Department of Agriculture (national forests are a “crop”).
National Park Service is under the Department of Interior.
Get your federal agencies straight!
nationalforests
It’s okay to leave the space in there.
Damn right!
But really, who needs trees? They just provide oxygen, clean the air, enrich the soil, prevent soil erosion, help save energy, help prevent water pollution, provide places for animals to live, provide shelter from the sun, help with drought mediation, capture rain water, make areas cooler during the summer, and help with climate.
But other than that, what do we even need them for?
Sounds like sociannism to me
They didn’t actually, did they?
We sell it to Sears in 2025
I thought Sears got bought by Bob’s Bait Shack. Or was it Sally’s Dry Cleaning and Fried Chicken Emporium?
Everything is owned by four seasons
eats fly conspiratorially
Just rake the leaves /s
I can’t help but think they really are going to be severely defunded. Musky can only see value in police/military.
They’ll soon just be a collection of oil wells, shopping centers, and expensive apartments.

Soooooooo Houston?
Even if you love oil extortionists and their bribes, global warming denial includes not funding adaptation/protections from its effects. In the case of forest fires, it is also a major source of additional CO2 emissions. Trees/land globally are counted on to suck up 14 gt of CO2 per year, if they don’t burn, and have enough water to live. In 2023, net co2 absorbtion was only 0.5 gt. 1/10th usual amount with “usual fires”. 2024 had big fires in Amazon.
The cheapest non-energy-related global warming mitigation is forest management and fire containment.
Just take the forest.
Qu’est-ce que c’est que ce kebab derrière l’ours ?
