Google illegally demolished an estimated 250,000 trees in Finland to make way for a data center, leaving behind a lifeless mud wasteland that forced packs of wolves into a nearby town in search of food and infuriated locals, according to a report.

    I have hope that Finland will do something about it. Force google to plant trees, massive fine, plus so much more is a good place to start.

      The current government is fully JD Vance tier corporate drones. National Coalition Party parallels Bolsonaro’s PL with its regard for environmental issues. They are only interested in getting their fellow empty-suit fuckwits bigger salaries, at the expense of everyone else in Finland. The only thing they campaign on is “Immigrant Invasion!” and “Communists are ruining the Country!”

          Refugees fleeing the Middle East and Ukraine after decades of war have become an agitation point for easily gulled Finnish isolationists.

        Same as (still somehow after they lost election) current fuckers in Sweden. They allow mining for fucking metals everywhere, even in protected areas. They let fucking forest companies take down old forests, without mandatory wildlife inventory. They simply come and clearcut. Don’t buy paper made in Sweden.
