just making shit up. mesoamericans were massive autists that were all about cataloguing that shit, not killing it all, quetzals never went extinct, despite having the most valuable feathers. Natives also domesticated tons of crops and stuff, built their cities into the environment, if anyone hunted species to extinction it was the eurofags who moved in (retards who never domesticated anything).

FTFY

I am being that specific because many of said tree species might not be native. They might be invasive species like the eucalyptus, or Australia acacia.

It also doesn't say anything about tree density, just tree species density. I'm not claiming it is so, but consider the hypothetical: The West might have denser forests of 5 tree species only, and more biodiversity as a result. On the other hand, the East might have areas of low tree density, but with 20 different species, and maybe less overall biodiversity.

I hope that clears things up

Bit more detailed climate map, from wikip. IIRC from the MSB days, most of the climate difference results from altitude difference caused by multiple plates subducting under the North American plate during the Laramide orogeny 70-80 Mya. Correct me if I'm missing something.

yes, in general, plate tectonics defines much of the topography along the contact areas of the plates edges, and topography defines much of the the regional climate, along with the Coriolis wind effect and ocean currents etc, in turn climate defines erosional rates together with the rate of change in topography, in feedback loops that last many millions of years.
Most of the western US topography is indeed resultant from plate tectonics, all the way to the Rockies, along with some isostasy effects thrown into the mix as well that raised the Colorado plateau, etc.

This is a dumb argument.

Obviously it’s area specific. They are not destroying nature everywhere. Just certain regions are more affected than others.

Mostly in the areas where resources are procured.

Like where they are extracting oil. Cutting down forests etc.

Some areas with high population densities are running out of water.

Listen, the living planet Earth is our savings account. It's literally the collection of all expendable resources we will ever have available. It is NATURAL CAPITAL.
Mankind is not only consuming the "interest" yield from that savings account (the natural replenishing rates of those resources), but it's also eating away at the savings account itself.
Eventually, and this is just basic accounting, we will run out of principal capital, as well as interest, by consequence.

Why are all endangered species so important that you believe you can violate other's rights? Seriously I don't get the importance at all. 90% of species are extinct. If humans disappeared from the earth for a million years, the niches which the species which we destroyed inhabited would be refilled by newly evolved species. So outside of something that effects humans, why do these species matter?

Then suppose these species effect humans, why are they the only thing that can fill that role? If they are, then why do you expect that a free market wouldn't account for that fact and respond to it, i.e by not killing off that species? Why does this require government intervention and thus violating rights?
