The BLM under tRump -- gut the agency's workforce, fast track any and all projects that exploit public lands for private profits, remove as many regulations as possible designed to safeguard the environment and public heath, and blatantly exclude the public from providing meaningful input.
Last week BLM released its environmental review of a lithium project that involves drilling across thousands of acres of sagebrush desert. It only gave 5 days for public input. People submitted over 1,500 comments. Now they’ve got more time. www.opb.org/article/2025...
Lithium project in southeastern Oregon gets public input extension
The public now has until April 25 to review environmental impacts that could come during a company's search for lithium, a metal that's critical to renewable energy and electric vehicles.

What we'll be seeing more and more of in the near future is the right using the fear of fire as justification to ramp up commercial logging and eliminating public involvement in agency projects. Every fire, no matter the context, will be used as false evidence for this underlying agenda.

"Despite several years of international commitments to end deforestation, tropical primary forest loss worsened by 10% in 2022...and totalled 4.1 million hectares, the equivalent of losing 11 football fields of forest per minute." www.brusselstimes.com/574425/world...
World lost 11 football fields of forest per minute last year
Forest loss last year produced 2.7 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to India's annual fossil fuel emissions.
