"Trump Forest" Blooms to Counter "Trump's Monumental Stupidity" and Attack on Earth

Want to help counter President Donald Trump’s war on climate action and combat climate change? Help plant Trump Forest.

The brainchaid of climate scientist Dan Price and sustainable cap company founder Adrien Taylor, the Trump Forest initiatve launched last month with a batch of 1,000 trees planted in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The new website lays out the initiative’s impetus like this:

How it works: an individual or business makes a donation to a local tree planting group indicating that it’s in honor of Trump, and then sends the receipt on to the folks at Trump Forest who will track and map the growing “forest.”

“We know Trump likes his things: Trump Tower, Trump Golf, Trump Vodka and so on. We thought he might like Trump Forest too,” Taylor said in a press statement announcing the launch.

Price said he felt like “we had to do something” to counter “Trump’s extremely dangerous incompetence.”

“The world’s most powerful man doesn’t believe in science, and that should be concerning to everyone around the globe,” Taylor added.

The Trump Forest website points specifically to the president’s executive order last month to roll back the Clean Power Plan, thereby threatening United States’ ability to meet the targets set out in the historic Paris climate accord.

Price called such action “completely unacceptable in a modern scientifically literate society. We cannot stand by and watch as he attempts to derail effective action and recent progress.”

He and his co-founder hope their initiative can help make up for the damage in terms of greenhouse gas emissions the Clean Power Plan rollback would unleash.

Here’s how they explain the science behind their approach:

“As the planet heats up towards critical tipping points, we simply can’t afford his ignorance,” Taylor said.
