I laud the focus on clean healthy air as opposed to the politically loaded and controversial term ” climate change ” !
Yet you mocked me for wanting to preserve trees, which are natural carbon sinks that also absorb methane. Why?
I never mock anyone.
I love trees.
However there are quite a few in Vancouver and millions more around us in W-Canada so sacrificing one here or a hundred there may not be all that bad, depending on the circumstances, be it new housing, better views, more ports, a new road or a playground for kids as we need those too in a growing city / province.
A careful balance between nature and development has to be struck.
BC has plenty, too many opponents of ANY development anywhere for whatever reason !! Perhaps you call this mocking , I call it stating facts.
