Latin America Moves Left and Forward

[Bacchus4.0]

6. thats not even close to being true. Teddy Roosevelt preserved parklands and forests

long before the new deal. The height of the industrial age from the early 1900s into the 70s was a poor time for the environment. The National Environmental Policy Act actually was under Nixon. the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act put teeth into environmental protection. All of those came well after the New Deal. Latin America lacks effective enforcement of environmental protection statutes for the most part.

Redwoods may indeed be the among the most efficient plants for carbon sequestration but the range of redwoods trees is quite limited compared to say the Amazon basin or most other types of forests actually.

Talking about it is fine but action is needed. You can't simply say how precious Mother Earth is and then go on to support highways and mines completely ignoring Mother Earth.

what you fear about the redwood forests being depleted is happening all through out latin america to tropcial hardwood forests.

The US has much tighter environmental laws and regulations. When latin american nations convert their rhetoric into action in regards to the environment, then we can talk.
