This appears to be part of a broader industry-wide effort to establish a scientific and policy framework for expanding industrial logging under the banner of beneficial “Natural Climate Solutions.”

**In India, extreme heat and air pollution are driving health and economic losses, while warming winters are beginning to reduce wheat yields by shortening critical growing periods. In Finland and Sweden, changing temperatures and snow conditions are altering bird distributions and contributing to species loss at the national level. In Norway, increasing rainfall and rising temperatures are exposing rail infrastructure to growing risks from flooding and heat stress. In West Africa, warming is expanding the range of crop disease into major cassava-producing regions in Nigeria, while shifting rainfall in Niger is disrupting pearl millet farming and forcing widespread adaptation.**

Magyar ain’t fucking around. Not even in office yet, he just told the president that he needs to resign, and went on the main public tv channel to tell them he was going to shut down their propaganda outfit.
Someone needs to be taking notes for what needs to be done here in ‘29.
