At the same time that we are planting more trees (mostly other nations), more trees are dying from disease and drought. These factors are not calculated in the study of us having more trees now than we did 100 years ago. The link I posted says that at the current rate of deforestation there will not be "any" trees left in 300 years. This does not account for disease and drought either. Not to mention fires. Every year fires are wiping out entire swaths of forests. Air quality is reaching dangerous levels it is like nothing we have ever seen. Last summer ash was falling from the sky for several months. It hurt to breathe. People were dying from the air quality. There were alerts to not go outside, and that our air quality was worse than China. I had to make, make shift air filters just to breathe. It was really bad. That is where I live in the Pacific Northwest. But where my dad lives it was like that there too, and in California. It was happening all over. This has to be taken into account and it is undeniable.
Hunter gatherers who said anything about that?
We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

The topic is trees not air quality and fires. Fact: deforestation has largely been reversed in the developed world. You should be glad about that but you seem intent on worrying. I can't help you there.
Your sources keep referencing the dawn of civilization and/or since man first appeared. What is that supposed to mean? Man acts on his environment. Molds it, changes it...that's part and parcel of what it means to be human. I like people. I like civilization. There is almost always a creepy anti-human sentiment to these environmentalist musings. It's alienating. We're not regressing to a primitive state. That's not going to happen.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

How do people live like this?
