Of course the disappeared forest will not return, and of course the world doesn't look like what the world was 10 millions years ago. That's just a strawman argument. Also, obviously the government should still do something. Shit is going to happen, and we have learn to deal with shit. Whether forestation is achieved naturally or with human effort, that's okay. Deforestation is a huge problem I agree.

- notacoward 11y agoDo you know what a "strawman" is? It's attributing an argument to another, which I didn't do. You actually said that the trees will grow back, as though that's sufficient. I disagreed that it's sufficient. Now you're changing your tune, and trying to retcon my response to be a strawman. No, it's not. It was a direct and topical response to what you were saying at the time. Why don't you just admit your earlier statement was in error?
