So the company that he contracted to cut those trees did not do their due diligence before cutting the trees. In some climes, you need approval from the council before embarking on such operations.

The amount of carbon foot print of your entire village fit no reach wetin one average 20 year old oyibo don already use up.

That is why whenever this issue comes up, I alway take my time to explain to them how they are the major destroyer of the planet not Africa. They fly more than the average African, they consume more meat than we do. You need to see how much chemical they use for their agriculture. Not to talk about their waste and the nonesense they order everyday from China.

legionISproteus:
una don come. wetin concern meat concern climate change now. Be kiaful!

on top of that, you still chook China inside the matter. If I search you now, more than half of what you own is made in China, nothing wey u dey produce, no single factory except baby factory. COntinue dey follow oyibo "carbon foot print" wayo dey mumu yourself.

Oakland prides it's on its trees and most are giant oak... Mighty trees bigger than your iroko trees

An oak tree of 100 years is still young. Whatever replacement they planted not mature by the time their grandchildren get old. The damage was really deep for the community

Here in Nigeria where you people destroy every forest and cut down every tree for firewood you will not understand

adenigga:
Oakland’s City Council has voted that a Nigerian medical doctor, Matthew Bernard, and his wife will pay a fine of nearly $1m for felling 38 legally protected trees on and around their Claremont Avenue property in the United States.

A California-based media platform, KQED, reported that more than 20 residents at a public hearing on Tuesday demanded enforcement of Oakland’s tree protection laws.

They argued that the leafy canopies of the trees in the area were important for wildfire prevention, public health and environmental equity.

Diaspora Tales reported last month that Bernard and his partner, Lynn Warner, said they removed trees from their property on an arborist’s advice.


At the hearing on Tuesday, the Nigerian medical expert told the council that the trees removed from his property nearly four years ago were “dead, dying, leaning,” or in “hazardous condition.”

The city, however, disagreed and fined Bernard and Warner $915,135.40 and placed a claim on their property that would prevent them from developing or selling the land until the fine was paid.

Defending the fine, a community tree specialist, Erys Gagnez, said, “Trees of that size are not commercially available for replacement. Even with replanting, it will take decades, even centuries, to restore the ecological and protective functions that were lost. The scale of the fine reflects this reality.”

... I am based in Russia and I work on an island every winter. Large pines, Sequoia and numerous trees in the taiga.
Please read again and think about it...before running mouth

BigCowHornn:
Sequoia trees are not native to Russia. They were planted as experiments meant to be cut down. Your island must be in the Black Sea where the cold is not so much because that tree does not do well in cold

Oakland on the other hand is a millionaire suburb in Los Angeles where the trees are meant to be part of the environment permanently

Far to the north people work in Alaska and Canada felling giant giant pine trees all the time


Different places different rules

Think about it before you run your mouth

Stop disgracing yourself. Read you guys won't read:
1. How meat production impact the environment

https://woods.stanford.edu/news/meats-environmental-impact

I hope it isn't too much for you to comprehend.

2. That because of half of what I use is from China does not mean China does not contribute to carbon foot print. Please educate yourself and stop disgracing yourself online

I have given you two links after reading you can look at the references and hopefully you will dig deep and probably it will help cure your ignorance

legionISproteus:
Boy, try reason normally for once. It will not harm you. We have been eating meat and rearing animals for millenia, nothing like climate change, no problem with carbon levels. Now wey oyibo wan dey sell you laboratory meat make you chop...dem don package "research" full every where...

Can you compare the carbon footprint print of the needless wars these criminals have been conducting over the years to a natural practice of agriculture that we have been practicing even before you were born? Abi you need them to do research for that one for you, bah?

dettolgel:
Na you no wan read. Did you understand my first, in my first post I said this:
village fit no reach wetin one average 20 year old oyibo don already use up. grin

That is why whenever this issue comes up, I alway take my time to explain to them how they are the major destroyer of the planet not Africa.

If you don't understand that it means Africans are not the one destroying the climate they are.

I went ahead in my last post to you and included link to mechanized animal farming and the monstrenous production in China and how these activities contribute to carbon foot print.

No be cho cho cho For your claim that in general that there is nothing like climate change and that this was a ploy for the manufacturing of artificial meeting. Please do share links to scientific studies backing your claim. At least I did share links backing my position on this issues.

My first post that is not even up to half a page is difficult for you to read and understand, so I am not surprised at your reasoning

legionISproteus:
My point is that, you are sending me links to show how bad mechanised agriculture is for the climate but you never bothered to "research" the pollution and environmental damage that activities like needless wars do to this same climate you cherish more than sense. Okay... stop eating meat. Oyibo will sell you synthetic alternatives make you dey chop. I am not here to stop you but point out your ignorance on the so-called climate activism.

Shebi now fuel don cost? WHy are you complaining? Why are you still buying fuel? Are you not polluting the air with your second-hand car that you drive everyday? Why not buy a bicycle and move around?
