It's not a one time cost is what I'm saying. The trees in the forest that is flooded decompose slowly, and release methane the entire time. Specifically to BC

The trees in the forest that is flooded decompose slowly, and release methane the entire time.
Specifically to BC, the entire ecosystem also got screwed, the fish in tributaries, up and down from the dams have mercury poisoning.
