Vegetation in Paradise Valley, Petersburg Ranger District, Tongass National Forest, Alaska, in August 2011.

A comment I wrote at the Washington Post:

"Republicans pushed to open up remote and largely-pristine areas in Alaska to drilling, mining and logging while Trump was in office, from its southeast edge to the western Arctic and the Bering Sea."

I don't know why the Republicans want to destroy the environment. Maybe it's because they're stupid, and a few other adjectives I can't use here.

The proposal would affect 9.3 million acres of forest, including vast areas of old growth, Bill Clinton originally protected in 2001.
