Endangered species act

yes its bad, a certain element of our country feels the government should only exist to help people make money, sad but true

and whats happening in brazil is a direct result from that flawed thinking, if soil can only support grazing for 10-15 years then clearing rain forest for grazing is very short sighted.....................correct me if i am wrong, someone please........i am dying over here! brett wier call me!!! lol

They clear the forest to plant crops, not for grazing. And this whole "Amazon fires" headline thingy is fake news, the amount of fires is below and average year and the media is using pictures from prior years and other areas to build their false narrative.

ok rainforest soil loses nutrients after 10-15 years, and fake news cmon man really1?!?

Just a couple I looked up in seconds of Obama doing the same of the ESA. Where was the outcry then? Many similarities if you compare the reasons.

ok that is interesting, i will have to check it out, i do feel if our national security is threatened, we should make an exception on the ESA Like we need to build the wall for national security and stopping the coyotes and drugs etc....

trapping animals and releasing them on the other sides is such an easy solution for genetic variability, but what the hell do i know lol

WASHINGTON POST
A federal judge in Alaska has declared that President Trump’s order revoking a sweeping ban on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans is illegal, putting 128 million acres of federal waters off limits to energy exploration.
The decision late Friday by U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason is the third legal setback this week to Trump’s energy and environmental policies. The judge, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama in 2012, also on Friday blocked a land swap the Interior Department had arranged that would pave the way for constructing a road through wilderness in a major national wildlife refuge in Alaska.
Earlier in the week, U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock, who was appointed by President Reagan, ruled that Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service illegally approved two gas drilling plans in western Colorado. The judge said officials did not adequately analyze wildlife and climate impacts in their plans — which were challenged by a coalition of environmental groups — to drill 171 wells in North Fork Valley, which provides key habitat for elk and mule deer.
Trump’s rollbacks of Obama-era conservation policies have suffered nearly two dozen setbacks in federal court, largely on procedural grounds. Though the administration is appealing many of these decisions and holds an advantage if the cases reach the Supreme Court, the rulings have slowed [the president’s drive to expand fossil fuel production]('https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-energy-solar-coal-20180110-story.html') in the United States.

Earlier this month, for example, a federal judge halted drilling on more than 300,000 acres of oil and gas leases in Wyoming. Friday’s decision on offshore drilling could affect a five-year leasing plan the administration intends to issue in the summer, as well as block the six offshore lease sales it proposed to schedule in the Arctic Ocean starting as early as this year. The decision Friday applies to 98% of the Arctic Ocean, as well as undersea canyons in the Atlantic spanning 3.8 million acres, str
