Scotland could become one of the first countries to establish a specific crime for mass environmental destruction as championed by late Scots barrister Polly Higgins.
not really, civilization for a long time was perfectly fine living alongside nature. this problem is only really become a thing since the later industrial revolution
That’s bollocks. Humans have been clear-cutting land, burning fields and forests to enable agriculture, and hunting species to extinction since we came down from the trees, to say nothing of shitting in every body of water we lived near. The industrial revolution only made it tip the scales into an existential threat to our continued way of life.
Burning fields and forests is called back burning . It’s a practice that is saving the forest. If you don’t, the burning forests gets out of hand and all is lost. Just ask Australia circa 2019 when the PM refused to do the needed.
Ok let me explain in more detail, there is what you describe of back burning which exists in some places but there is also the widely practiced method of clear cutting which often involves burning down the forest to get rid of it and create farm land. Did you not see all the stories about deforestation in Brazil using this method?
Calm down. you either clearly cannot understand the differences or refuse to understand the differences of back burning and deforestation. And until you do you should stop speaking on the subject of ‘what is good for the world’ cuz clearly you are doing it in a very bad actor/sensationalist way.

That’s a very different thing to clear cutting, it’s like saying dumping toxic waste in your fish pond is the same as feeding them.
I wasn’t responding to the clear cutting. I was responding to the burning. I don’t know what you’re on about but way to mangle a topic.

Yea, I said backburning. Glad we finally agreed what words mean now.
And you said it to correct someone that didn’t use that specific phrase, hence why I pointed out your mistake
TIL deforestation of the Amazon is good for the Amazon.

Not always. Sometimes it’s deforestation. Most often throughout human history, it’s been deforestation
You’re talking nonsense man
I said backburning. I didn’t stutter.
You don’t have to stutter to be wrong.
Yeah m8, you tell him wot
