>>11018662Without even addressing the ridiculousness of the ecological collapse and the catastrophic economic collapse that would ensue -- there is a FUCK TON of unforested land that is currently not being used for scientific research. Why cut down the trees when there is already barren land we could build labs atop of?
It sounds rather silly that you'd waste resources to cut down swathes of dense forest instead of building on already cleared land.
Did you really think your argument through?
