From the Gift of Fire to Global Arson
"When Prometheus, according to the myth, brought fire to earth, another crucial input was added. Fire has been used to cook food and harden tools for hundreds of thousands of years. In this sense, it can be said that all history implies the history of the uses of fire."
"But where trees could only be burnt once, the weights of the factors labour and fire shifted with the discovery of underground deposits of coal and oil. Modern humanity, according to Peter Sloterdijk, can be considered a collective of arsonists who set fires to the underground forests and moors. If Prometheus were to return to Earth today, he might regret his gift; after all, what looms is nothing less than Ekpyrosis, the demise of the world in fire. And only a new, energetic pacifism can prevent this catastrophe." >>

An "ad showed a picture of a logged area of forest with the words:
“The majority of Australians want an end to native forest logging.”

As swift parrots kept breeding in this forest, the government realised it had a problem
The Tasmanian government’s own advice was saying that native forest logging practices needed to be urgently reviewed. But…

Creating diversified revenue streams out of 'The koala park' -
carbon credits and logging?
Nature as cash cow"A long-promised New South Wales great koala national park is set to go ahead after the Albanese government greenlit the state to receive hundreds of millions of dollars for protecting native forests previously earmarked for logging."
"...Polluting companies are allowed to buy an unlimited number of credits – also known as offsets – to count as their own cuts while continuing to pollute. Scientists have warned limiting the climate crisis requires rapid direct cuts in emissions and that carbon offsets should be used sparingly."
"NSW Greens MP Sue Higginson said the logging industry was unprofitable and the government should end it regardless of carbon credit revenue. “Reducing our forests in NSW to cash cows and offsets for climate polluters … sends a signal across the country that governments can disregard the intrinsic value of nature in favour of the latest get-out-of-jail-free card for climate polluters." >>

Just watched this powerful Four Corners investigation. Victoria and WA shut down native forest logging in their state forests... but the demand for hardwood didn't vanish. Turns out Tasmanian old-growth logs are now flooding south to Victorian mills — including ones that got big taxpayer transition packages.
They're following the trucks, the money, and the ancient trees. Jobs vs. forests, regional towns vs. conservation battles in NSW too. Classic "zombie industry" stuff.#FourCorners #NativeForests #OldGrowth #Tasmania #Logging #Environment #Conservation #AustralianForests #ClimateAction

The National Parks Association of NSW is calling for
a Great Southern Forest National Park
stretching from the Illawarra to the Victorian border.
"Inspired by Great Koala National Park - The ambitious proposal was spurred forward by the announcement of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) on the north coast by the state government in September last year."
"The launch of the proposal will be held today, with the proposal to be put to the NSW government." >>>
