How much CO2 was released from this never ending fire? Not to mention, the poisoning of our ocean?
As much as I hate climate protestors the reaction from the rangers was way over top. The American policing system is so uncivilized. And remember what they do to your enemies they can do to you (or your allies) too eventually as we saw with the response to the anti-covid truckers protesting in Canada.
While I generally agree about the overaggressive nature of American cops. not in this case. A roadblock is not a peaceful protest.
What if there was an emergency and an ambulance got stuck in the roadblock? What if these "protestors" were actually rioters and attacked people stuck in their cars (happened during BLM riots)? What if it was a carjacking or a highway robbery attempt? How can an average Joe know what will happen to him once he's stopped by the mob?
Good people have to let criminals do what they want without the police stopping them, because what if the government started arresting good people?
No, this logic doesn't work. Road blocking protestors should be instantly handcuffed, walked or dragged out of the street, place (or thrown) in a paddy wagon, and then be tried and convicted with real penalties and a criminal record.
Throw them all in jail and then throw them in jail next.
Sweden invented ‘flight shaming’. Now it is begging airlines to return
The country that invented “flight shaming”, a concept championed by climate activist Greta Thunberg, has scrapped its air tax in a bid to boost its ailing economy.

Thank you Germany and UK for your economy destroying miniscule reduction. At least some jerkoff politicians got a nice pay day.
What Climate Crisis? Weather Channel Reports "Record-Breaking Cold" For August
What Climate Crisis? Weather Channel Reports "Record-Breaking Cold" For August | ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

t must be extraordinarily difficult for leftist corporate media outlets and woke government weather forecasters to admit "record-breaking cold temperatures" or "unseasonably cool air" across parts of the Lower 48 - in August of all months.
August is the prime season when far-left climate NGOs and their political allies, amplified by their MSM propaganda megaphone, usually try to convince everyone of an alleged climate crisis....
But the narrative of imminent doom for planet Earth unless cow farts, gas stoves, 2-stroke weedwhackers, petrol-powered vehicles (MSM always forgets to talk about Bill Gates, Al Gore, and Democrats flying around in private jets) are banned.
Yet here we are ... and years later, no climate disaster.
In fact, The Weather Channel stated on Monday morning: "Record-breaking cold temperatures for the month of August provide many their first taste of fall."
Brr!
Here's more from The Weather Channel:
Even government forecasters have been forced to admit it's beginning to feel like fall in August:
Across the Lower 48, average temperatures are expected to print below the 30-year average through early August.
In energy markets, U.S. NatGas futures are tumbling....
... at a time when prices should be rising according to 15-year seasonal trends.
NatGas prices are falling because lower cooling demand means less power burn on grids.
^It seems like the global warming hysteria in the West has subsided since covid, with other real crises emerging like the wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran, inflation and accelerated decline in purchasing power, mass immigration reaching a tipping point and the rise of China.
All by design.
