Description[?]:
| "[...] And again I ask: Can there be a sensible reason for this our current laws? By law we have to constantly increase the forest areas but we must not chop the trees down. The absolzute principle called nature, this idol that has been set up constrains our living spaces. What is this idol? "Nature"? Where does it begin, where does it end? Are we - nature? [...] And finally: Every living organism changes it's environment and climate. Plants do, algae do, cows do, and, yes, and we do. What is the difference? At the end of the Cambrian Age the masses of plants had produced so much oxygen that 90 % of the species died out. Oxygen is dangerous for the climate. If this plants had not died out, if the dinosaurs hadn't died out there wouldn't be no men, no polar bears, no whales. Evolution cannot work without change. And this change evolution needs comes mainly from inside evolution itself. Evolution is a system that regulates itself by creating the change it needs to work. What all those green gurus and priests of the idol "climate protection" or "sustainability" forget: We are living on a planet that uncertainly trundels through space. We ourselves are the product of incredible accidents and changes and the whole system we are living in is change and uses it's products to create more change. What sense does it make trying to conserve what is changing by nature?" Dionysos Rubenitz, head of the party's office for external communication |

| Message | I don't think you get it. These articles as they are now don't take our living spaces away. The government only requires tree plantation at higher than replacement levels for all logging or clearance operations. But since logging is prohibited, and felling is limited to fire breaks, there won't be much replacement to do aye? |
