I’ve noticed an increase in the trend of local governments just clear cutting their expensive decades old shade trees.

They turn entire main/arterial streets full of beautiful green canopies and pedestrian/micromobility activity into a baking wasteland of 150 degree concrete and asphalt. With predictable results for the retail businesses.

All to save a few dollars on maintenance.

Man humanity really is cooked. How does any of this shit even matter when we will all die or have our lives ruined by climate change in our lifetimes?

Do you have an example?

I live in Austria and most local governments start doing the opposite. They plant trees all around the city even if it takes away some parking spots for cars. And as the trees grow, the shading area gets bigger and it get's cooler.
