This could be a photo of anything and the caption would still be true.

Trees planted in a line with clear cuts in the distance…

Yep. A tree farm that doesn’t support any important ecosystem but does support profits.

Also: monoculture.
Also: monoculture of conifers which can “poison” the surrounding area due to the overload of needles falling to the ground and acidifying it. Especially problematic in vicinity to rivers, brooks or other water bodies as this can lead to “toxic flushes”. Learned that from Mossy Earth: https://www.mossy.earth/projects/riparian-restoration-glassie-farm

No they didn’t. Sure, the people who made that decision are human, but “humans” implies it was a collective decision. You and I had no say in it. There are like 100 people in the world who make all the decisions. They’re the ones benefiting from the destruction of the earth, and they’re the ones responsible. We weren’t given a vote.

You can’t absolve “us” of all the responsibility. We wouldn’t be in this situation if the masses weren’t so easy to manipulate into supporting corruption. The vast majority of us would take the quick-and-easy-yet-destructive path over the long-and-hard-productive one most of the time. Remove those 100-or-whatever by violent revolution tomorrow, and someone else will rise to the top of the stink heap the next day. Real change requires sacrifice at all levels of society.

More like, they boofed coke out of strippers assholes on private jets and decided to keep doing that. I’m sure they think trees are fine.
