Jim Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 Grim and getting grimmer. What is it with this administration? They are undoing years of bi-partisan work under the cover of the war drums. "The Bush administration is acting to overturn a Clinton-era management plan for the 11 national forests of the Sierra Nevada, replacing the conservation-based approach with one that would significantly accelerate logging. The possible torpedoing of the Sierra Nevada Framework Plan was revealed Monday in a document leaked to environmental organizations by a "concerned inside source," said Jay Watson, the western regional director for the Wilderness Society. The document, obtained by The Chronicle, is the first draft of a proposal on how to update the Sierra Nevada Framework Plan. The revisions have been in the works for months." "The (draft) has been very controversial inside the forest service," said Watson. "It's creating tremendous internal divisions. If Bush goes through with these changes, it will end in polarization, conflict -- and ultimately, a federal courtroom." (SanFrancisco Chronicle 2/4) Quote
jordop Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I always thought the Sierra escaped logging becuase it was unprofitable; the pines have a relatively long regeneration period and there is significant forest fire danger That would really suck Quote

JoshK Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 No, he's a fucking asshole and he's not afraid to show it. He'll cave in to any industry willing to back him and his chronies with money. First oil, now logging... Quote
AlpineK Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I'm pretty sure GW wants to flatten then pave the entire US. After that he wants to set up Walmarts across the country in a 2 mile grid pattern. Quote
