They must have inherited their deforestation fetish from us. It's a travesty what we've done to Europe. It used to be described as an endless dark forest north of /med/.

Deforestation in Europe happened over the course of 3,000 years, deforestation in America happened over the course of 200-400, sometimes even 100, years.
